Overview

Manns Trade Bar Top Lacquer is an extremely durable, single component, polyurethane lacquer that dries to a high build, professional bar top finish. It's suitable for use on softwood and hardwood table tops, bar tops and counters. It can also be used on other wooden surfaces that demand a high degree of protection.

Preparation

Ensure that bar tops and other wooden surfaces to be coated are clean, dry and free from surface dirt and debris.

All previous finishes should be sanded back to bare wood or stripped with a paint and varnish remover
Fill any gaps or splits in the wood surface with Manns Trade Mix and Fill or other suitable wood filler
Take care to remove all traces of sanding dust with a vacuum cleaner or by wiping down with a damp cloth

Staining

If desired, softwood bar tops and table tops can be stained with Manns Classic Wood Dye

Application

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.

Stir the contents of the tin thoroughly before and periodically during application
If applying Manns Trade Bar Top Lacquer to dense woods such as Beech, Teak or Iroko, it is a good idea to thin the first coat with 10-15% white spirit to help the lacquer sink into the wood grain for better adhesion
Apply a generous coat with a good quality brush or a microfibre roller, in the direction of the wood grain
We recommend 3-5 coats for bar tops, de-nibbing between coats, and 2-3 coats for other wooden surfaces

Aftercare

Regular Cleaning

The finish should be cleaned from time to time by wiping down with a damp, lint-free cloth.

Deep Cleaning

For stubborn scuffs, marks or stains, use a dedicated, pH balanced wood surface cleaner.

Please note: Wooden surfaces, lacquered or otherwise should never be soaked with large amounts of water or cleaned with household or commercial grade detergents or cleaners as these can degrade the finish over time.

Quality Product

No cheap but value for money to gain the right finish

Fantastic hardwearing finish

This varnish has transformed an old oak table. It was easy to apply and the finish is excellent - it looks beautiful and is completely resistant to hot mugs and all spills. A wipe with a damp cloth and it is as good as new. Marvellous!

Very good

Bar top vanish was very good and after 5 coats very hard

Fantastic varnish

Great product,it leaves a beautiful finish that is hard wearing, easy to use. I used 6 coats and delighted with the finish

Excellent product

Put this lacquer on old junk boat table. Came up beautiful.

Great product

Great lacquer time will tell how well it lasts. Drying time between coats 4 to 6 hrs is a bit long especially when refinishing bar top on site. Hope it ladts well . Will gave to see

I found this product very easy to apply. The consistency enables a uniform coverage.

We can already see that this product is ideally suited to bar tops. Durable and easy to clean.

Brilliant finish

Fantastic finish on oak bar top fully recommended

Disapointed in end result

I have used this product for a number of years, very satisfactory, BUT I have the Lacquer bubbleing up in one or two places, using a new brush between coats makes no difference. I look forward to your comments.

Did a lovely job

I was volunteered to return the top of the rugby club bar to its former glory and with Sam's help and advice this is the outcome. After removing approximately 30 years of wear, removal off old lacquer and sanding down. I then put five coats of Manns Lacquer on it and it has come up Beautiful Thank you to Wood Finishes Direct for there help. P.S. First time doing something like this great challenge

Very pleased with this product.

After much research I chose Manns bar top varnish and it has exceeded my expectations I have also used it on the pump plinths and it has made everything look very high end.

Superior product

This was just what I needed for my pub bar.

Excellent product

Great product that works very well Hard wearing and easy to apply I use it on tables I make out of oak

Amazing Stuff

Fantastic product. Had enough so gave it 8 coats and it’s so great. Hot mugs and cold glasses are not a problem at all. Goes on easy with a roller and is barely noticeable. Great service from wood-finishes.

A very good quality product.

A very good quality product and worth the extra money. Satin went well on my oak worktops creating an attractive hard wearing surface.

Great Varnish

Really pleased with the varnish. Goes on really easily and looks lovely.

Perfect

It’s great product did job very well

Excellent

I brought this product based on previous reviews, having been given the job of renovating 15 pub tables. It didn’t disappoint, customers have commented on how good the tables are. I sanded the tables back to bare wood and applied 5 coats and they look amazing. Very pleased and so is my customer

Decent quality but pricey.

Decent quality product but pricey, so am wondering if a generic type yacht varnish would've been better value.

Great product

Very good product. I have used it to varnish kitchen wooden worktop. It doesn't react to boiling water, doesn't scratch and looks quite solid. The smell is not too bad. I would really recommend.

Superb service

Product is great and is exactly what we needed for our new clubhouse. More importantly the service is outstanding.

Great Finish Low odour

Easy to use, took a little longer to dry that it says on the tin. But all in all a great finish. Time will tell how long it lasts

Mann’s trade bar top lacquer

Excellent product 4coats too a 10mtr Bartop in a club light sand between coats the bartop was took back to bare wood in the first place it gave the bar an amazing satin finish

Excelente product

I like this product is easy to put on and most of all it dries quickly compare to old varnish and the finish is really good.

Excellent product.

Excellent product. Creates aquaphobic layer over wooden surfaces

Excellent!

The main thing about dealing with this company is ALISON! (hope I remember her name right) -knew her stuff and took the time to advise us . I'll be back!

Easy to apply, just using a roller. Even finish and good build up of layers.

In terms of application this finish is pretty easy. Using it for a counter top in a student bar, so should get some pretty heavy use! We will be interested to see how it stands up over time against the ware and tear of student life.

Great product excellent finish

Great product excellent finish will definitely use again

Excellent product

I rarely take the time to review products, should really! Made the effort for this one though because it’s so much better than anything we’ve ever used before. We have used for our restaurant tables. Quick sand down and then used this product. We’ve had problems before with sticky surfaces, this thoroughly protects and the tables honestly look like new. Have already ordered more and this will be our go to varnish for restaurant tables going forwards. Cheers.

Smooth and silky finish

Oh I love to apply this mellow wax to my aged mahogany carcass she wails with pleasure at each application ?

Amazing product

The Bar Top Lacquer seemed expensive but having used it I wouldn’t buy anything else now. Easy to apply and the finish is excellent- can’t recommend highly enough.

Easy to apply, excellent result.

Used to re-varnish solid wood tables in a local cafe. Previously tried product gave problematic results. This product was very tolerant even when applied in colder weather than would be recommended: 18-22 DegC. I applied 5 coats to see if it would help to withstand the tough wear it would endure in the cafe. I hope so as it is so good but quite expensive.
