Fiddes Clear Glaze

Fiddes Clear Glaze is perfect for a wide range of interior wood projects that demand a high level of protection. Suitable for interior doors, floors, kitchen worktops, paneling and joinery. Especially recommended for table and bar tops in restaurants, pubs and clubs where durability and quality of finish are the primary requirements. Ideal for applying on top of solvent or water-based wood stains.

Ensure that surfaces to be varnished are clean, dry and free from surface dirt, debris and other contaminates.

1. All previous coatings such as paints, varnishes, waxes and oils must be completely removed
2. Sand the wood with a medium grit sandpaper such as 120 to 220-240 grit as required, removing any sanding dust
3. Fill any gaps or splits in the wood surface
4. Wipe surfaces down with methylated spirit to de-grease

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Ensure good ventilation when using this product. Either apply outside where possible or ensure that windows and doors are open. When applying to a dense exotic hardwoods such as beech, teak or iroko, the first coat can be thinned with a good quality white spirit by 10-15% to aid adhesion to the wood.

Stir thoroughly prior and periodically during application.

1. Apply with a natural bristled brush
2. Apply the first coat thinly and evenly along the wood grain and allow to fully dry
3. Lightly de-nib the surface, removing any dust with a vacuum cleaner
4. Repeat as above for second coat

Recommended application is 2 coats on hardwoods, maximum of 3 coats on softwoods or more porous timber.

Regular Cleaning

For daily maintenance of Fiddes Clear Glaze, a dry duster, mop or vacuum cleaner will be sufficient. Electric floor polishers can be useful for larger commercial areas. For minor surface marks and scuffs, a slightly dampened, lint-free cloth (not wet) is sufficient.

Alternatively, Fiddes Wood Surface Cleaner Spray or Fiddes Floor Surface Cleaner can be used.

To restore sheen after long periods of wear, clean and prepare the surface with Fiddes Floor Surface Cleaner. Then apply Fiddes Floor Wax to affected areas. Buff to desired sheen once dry.

Please Note: Steam cleaners should never be used on varnished or oiled wood. Avoid using household detergents and cleaners as these can degrade and potentially ruin the finish.
