Always carry out a test area before starting your project to confirm compatibility and final appearance. Follow the instructions on the container at all times.

Polyvine Interior Extreme Varnish should not be applied over uncured oil based paints, as this may cause discolouration. When applying over emulsion or latex paint, underlying stains may become visible. If this occurs, use a suitable stain block primer before varnishing.

1. Stir thoroughly before and during use. Do not shake
2. Apply using a good quality synthetic bristle brush or suitable roller. For spray application, consult the manufacturer's guidance.
3. Apply 2 to 3 thin, even coats for best performance
4. On porous surfaces, dilute the first coat with up to 10 percent water
5. Allow each coat to dry fully before applying the next
6. Do not apply in damp, cold or excessively humid conditions

Clean brushes, rollers and spray equipment immediately after use with warm soapy water. Remove splashes while still wet using a damp, lint free cloth. Dried residues may require a suitable paint remover.
