2. Lightly sand bare or new wood to provide a key
3. Remove all traces of sanding dust prior to varnishing
4. Degrease wooden surfaces with Methylated Spirit and a lint-free cloth if required

1. Sand newly painted wood first to provide a key
2. Remove all traces of sanding dust prior to varnishing
3. Older painted wood, where the paint itself may fail, should be stripped using a hot air gun or a suitable paint stripper, then sanded and cleaned prior to coating with varnish

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

Use only in well ventilated areas.

1. Stir the varnish thoroughly before and periodically during use
2. Apply 2-3 full coats along the wood grain using a good quality synthetic brush, microfibre roller or spray system
3. If using a conventional spray system, following the manufacturers advice. Dilute with up to a maximum of 10% white spirit
4. Seal new or bare surfaces with a thinned first coat of Polyvine Extra Pale Varnish (with up to 10% white spirit) using a brush or a cloth pad for hardwoods to help the varnish penetrate the surface
5. If a dead flat finish with a higher level of durability and stain resistance is required, apply 1-2 coats of eggshell clear satin followed by 1-2 coats of dead flat clear
6. Lightly denib the surface between applications
7. Remove all traces of de-nibbing / sanding dust with a vacuum cleaner
8. Allow 6-8 hours between coats and 2 hours after the final coat before use
