Manns Extra Tough Interior Varnish

Wanted to research what to use to recover a sticky dining room table. Never heard of it before but Manns Extra Tough came out as the best option. I used the primer as a first coat and the three coats of Extra Tough wonderful Matt hard finish. Very pleased.

Never used before would definitely use it again

Not the right shine for the project but ordered the gloss in same product

The varnish looks grey qhen opened, it threw me a bit but I used the varnish on the cut ends of my oak veneered doors and thry look fantastic! The grey is not visible when applied, and it dries very quickly to a clear finish. Im going to use it on other wood i have in my home!

Slowly renovating my house and using oak (veneer) doors and oak cill boards on windows. This varnish is a very good, water based solution that drys fast allowing 2 to 3 coats to be put on in one days. No noticeable odour and easy to apply and brushes wash out easily in water.

I have purchased this product for a second time and I’m very satisfied with it

Easy to use, quick to dry, lovely finish with build up of coats

Purchased Manns extra tough interior varnish and clear Matt, I previously purchased a well-known varnish that said it was clear but when I put it on had that horrible orange yellow colour so looked up the reviews and said it was clear with no yellowing, I used it for my new wood interior doors. wow, did what it said on the tin. I do have pictures but can’t seem to upload them.

This is an excellent varnish. Easy to apply and dries to a true Matt finish without brush strokes. I put three coats on to a table top and it looks stunning.

I followed the instructions very carefully. Then the varniwas easy to use and yielded a great finish. Brushes clean without any problems to. None of that nasty yellowing you get with other products.

A huge choice of products, most of them in stock. Have made a couple of purchases so far both arrived on schedule.

Nice to apply, too early to comment on staying power

I used this product a few years ago ( when you were selling it in 500ml plastic bottles) and thought the finish ( by brush) was excellent. Still had a little left but not enough for the current project, so bought a 1 litre tin. Parts of the project were finished with the old stuff - excellent finish as before, but the parts finished with the new stuff (which seems very watery) were vastly inferior - slightly rough mottled appearance. And yes, I did mix it thoroughly I won't be buying this product again

I am very happy with this varnish It was very easy to apply and left the perfect finish I wanted to my table. Well worth every penny

I wanted a satin finish and applied 3 coats .. perfect ! ?

Good coverage. Easy to wash up brushes.

This was very easy to apply with no runs and it dried matt as advertised (which not all products do). There was very little odour and when tested with spillage it repelled perfectly. I have 60ml left of the 100ml sample pot after 4 coats on a small side table. Very happy and will definitely buy again.

Love this product been trying a few different brands but this one gives a great finish easy to use plus easy to clean your brushes

I used this on oak veneered wardrobes I was commissioned to make. Brushes on easily and has a great finish. I ordered some samples of the product in order to check final finish. Flows out very well without brush marks.

Bought sample size for a small job. Very pleased with finish.

Not tried this product from the tins purchased a yet, but same product from previous sample went on very well and has an excellent looking finish. Hopefully will last and stay looking as good as it has on test piece!

Not used from large tin yet, but used sample and appears very effective. Easy to apply and gives a good, clear finish. Coverage looks good too. No unpleasant vapours in use, so great for internal doors.

Very pleased with this varnish, I have used water based before and they have been rubbish, this on the other hand was excellent and I cannot recommend it enough!

The product was recommended to be by the team at Wood Finishes Direct and I am very pleased with it. Even with just one coat it looks good but with 3 coats it gives a great finish - I see no reason why it shouldn't end up being as tough as it says on the tin.

Viscous varnish that's very easy to apply and after using Manns Extra Tough Primer. Mahogany skirting boards now very smooth. I only needed two thin coats with one light sanding between. Wood nearly as smooth as glass.

We've used this item on our home made scaffold board based wavey edge dining table. The varnish has been on the dining table for 1.5 years and is holding up well. We also used it on our custom built office table where the varnish was laid onto a pine furniture board. The product was easy to apply and I found it to be forgiving. There were no lumps and the stray lines from the paint brush end up smoothing out.

This product was excellent easy to use and a brilliant Finnish.

Great product, brushes on nicely, smooth finish, clean brushes easily, dries hard! Second time I have bought this item.

Used over stain and paint works really well gives good protection and gloss

Excellent product, bought two year’s ago for oak doors on a renovation, bought again for another six doors, lovely finish.

Took me a while to find a matt interior varnish and this was great stuff to use.

Gave a good finish on a table I had sanded

Great Matt Finish, Very Easy To Apply & Brush Easy To Clean As Lacquer Is Water Based.
