I&#8217;ll be applying it to this JB Kind&nbsp;Snowdon&nbsp;door from their \u2018Oak Shaker Range\u2019. It\u2019s a beautiful door, and so easy to finish. So, what exactly is Manns Extra Tough Door Varnish? Get comfy and let me explain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manns Extra Tough Door Varnish it is a versatile non-yellowing, water-based<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>varnish that dries to an attractive Satin sheen. Every bit of wood is different so, I always recommend trying a test area just to make sure it gives you your desired result.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before I get started here\u2019s a handy little tip, ideally you want to be finishing an unhung door, with all handles, hinges and other furniture removed, and all size adjustments made, you\u2019ll thank me. So, I have thoroughly stirred the Varnish and decanted into my paint tray. Now let&#8217;s have some fun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My weapon of choice when applying Manns Extra Tough Door Varnish is the&nbsp;ProDec&nbsp;Premier Synthetic Brush this is a high-quality bristle brush that aids smooth application. Simply let the brush take the plunge and apply in long even strokes in the direction of the wood grain&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So Ive let this dry for an hour and a half, and now it&#8217;s time for an especially important step. Giving the door a light sand with a finishing pad. This method aids adhesion of the second coat and gives you a better finish all around. Once you have done that, just clean off the door and apply your 2<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;coat in the same way as your first.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<br>After two coats I&#8217;m sure you\u2019ll agree with me it looks great. The Manns Extra Tough Door Varnish has really brought out the natural tones and textures of the wood. We\u2019re nearly done! All you have to do now is reapply all the furniture and its ready to be hung.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re seeking technical assistance or advice on your project, why not put us to the test and give us a call or email?
