Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Is this varnish suitable for use on garden furniture?
A: Yes, it is perfect for protecting wooden garden furniture, especially those exposed to rain and sunlight.

Q: How many coats are recommended?
A: For maximum protection, apply 2–3 coats. Sand lightly between coats for better adhesion and a smooth finish.

Q: Can I apply this varnish over painted wood?
A: No. It is recommended only for bare or previously varnished wood. Paint should be fully removed and the surface properly prepared before application.

Q: Does it yellow over time?
A: As a clear, solvent-based varnish, minimal yellowing may occur over time due to natural wood aging and UV exposure. For best results, apply in thin coats and avoid direct, prolonged sunlight when possible.

Q: Can I use this indoors?
A: While it is safe for indoor use, the solvent content may produce strong odours. For interior woodwork, a low-odour, indoor-specific varnish is recommended.
