Just ideal as a good clear robust varnish
We used this as a top coat after a coat of English Oak tint. The product is easy to use and the finish is lovely. Highly recommended.
I chose to use Fiddes Clear Glaze as a slightly richer finish was needed to re finish a solid oak floor . With a good quality brush, very easy to apply, good coverage and dries off well with minimal grain lift between coats. Final coat gave a very nice satin sheen with a lovely rich depth. Very happy customer. Just make sure you have good ventilation whilst using and when it is drying afterwards. Very pleased with the Clear Glaze and will definitely keep using.
Really easy to apply with a good quality brush. In a cold unheated house in February it took 24 hrs to dry so factor that in if applicable. Smell while curing is not too overpowering but you will need to ventilate. Finish is great although I cant comment on durability.
As above, one of the best satin glazes I have used. Good for finishing a variety of projects where a better than matt finish is required, but where gloss is just too much.
Gave a beautiful soft sheen to my wooden floor. Loved it!
Good stuff thin it with 25% white spirit and use a good brush and it should dry with no brush marks
Walnut worktops that needed revamp, sanded back to bare wood and 3 coats, superb finish, just need to get rid of the destroyer (wife)
Easy to apply and exactly the finish I wanted. Great recommendation from the help line
I bought this product on the advice of the company who made my solid wood kitchen just to refurbish a few worn bits! It was very easy to use but I thought I could have removed a bit more of the original glaze. I contacted Customer Services and an exceptionally nice man rang me and gave me full instructions about the best way to do things - its looking very nice now - almost as good as new.
Easy to apply, hard wearing, brings up the natural wood nicely. Will buy again
We've been using this product for many years. Ordering is straightforward and delivery good The product is easy to apply with little in the way of fumes. I treat our wooden worktops twice a year and the effect is always good. A light sanding and wipe down before applying gives a good result. It's also good on wooden chopping blocks/boards
I haven't used this as i prefer using osmo oil , But i am sure it will be fine for my use
Touch dry in about 30 minutes so no real problems with keeping it dust free. The coat shrinks and pulls back, removing application marks to leave a smooth satin finish
Sorry for giving feedback all most after one year of used. I liked the gloss finish in the kitchen and after a year it is still there. I do not see a much difference since it is applied. I recommend Fiddes gloss finish clear to everyone who is looking for quality not price.
I purchased Fiddes clear glaze to protect a workshop mitre station / storage drawer area of about 3 metres x 2.25 metres x 700 mm. It worked well and gave the protection I required. It dried overnight as long as ample ventilation was provided otherwise it tended to stay wet especially inside drawers. The second coat used far less than the first coat and covered more quickly. Overall it is a nice product and colours the wood slightly unlike water based varnish. Lastly it is good value considering the amount of wood it covered, and delivery from wood finishes direct was quick as usual, however the courier did not ring the door bell and just left it on the door step which seems to be the way couriers work these days of COVID excuses!
Wood finishes direct, delivered a great product at the scheduled time, yet again a quality service from these guys thank you.
Fiddes, amongst the very best vanishes that I have ever used.
I have used Fiddes Clear Glaze ( it used to be called Plastic Glaze), for 40 years. It brings the natural colour of the wood out, gives a perfect finish and is very hardwearing. Apparently it was developed for bar tops. I would never use anything else
A little goes a long way and it leaves a lovely finish on your wood
Six months ago I used fiddes clear glaze gloss kitchen worktop and I am amazed by the results. I will definitely recommend and best part is water stays on top of wooden worktop without making any stains. Salil sharma
Fantastic Finnish. My oak worktops look like they have been bought looking like that.
This product - although expensive is very good - it said 3 coats on new softwood and that's correct - I will be buying more when my 9m x 4m log cabin arrives After using this product - I wouldn't bother with Cuprinol or Ronseal - and especially not water based products !
Wanted something to protect my new oak worktops. Did some research and came across the reviews for this product, so thought I would try it. I was not disappointed. I found this easy to apply, quick drying, and gives a nice finish (matt). It's only been a couple of months since using the product but I'm very impressed so far with how well it's performed. Will definitely use this again for any other wood projects I do.
This product was used to re-varnish a previously varnished cherry veneer surface with a satin finish. It did the job perfectly. 2 coats and sanded between the 1st and 2nd. Driers totally matt, just what I wanted.
I purchased this product as finish for some refurbished wooden kitchen worktops. Although originally badly stained, they came up better than hoped after several sandings and applications of the varnish. They are now gleaming and better than their original state despite constant use.
Fantastic product, would definitely buy again if i needed more.
I have used this product for a while now and have never been dissatisfied with the results. It is a light finish, easy to apply and penetrates well. Definitely recomended.
easy to apply and give a lovley finish
Used on a beech worktop in a small cafe.It gave a very nice finish and has lasted well so far (about one month).
This is what you need. Don't bother even considering anything else. I spent ages sanding the oak worktops in the kitchen and researching the best product to give a matt finish with durability and resistance to scratches/spills/stains etc. The Fiddes Clear Glaze (matt) is superb. Easy to apply (follow the instructions) and looks fantastic. Seems hard-wearing and tough. By far, the best product I have used for this purpose and would recommend 100%. Buy it!
Great - used on a kitchen tabletop.highly heat resistand, red-wine proof and virtually bullet and bomb proof!
