Some Points of Note

• Optimal resistance of this varnish is obtained after 20 days of curing. The surface should therefore be treated with care (avoid knocks, stains etc.) for the first 20 days
• Observe the recommended coverage rate for the product and do not apply either too thickly or too thinly
• Apply the varnish at an ambient temperature of between 12°C and 25°C and avoid draughts
• Avoid painting against an edge which is still drying
• Tools can be cleaned in water after use

Regular Cleaning

Varnished wooden surfaces can be cleaned using a soft lint-free or microfibre cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly dampened sponge or cloth and a mild detergent if required. Do not use abrasive sponges or harsh household detergents and cleaners as these may damage or degrade the finish.
