I had previously used a very expensive yacht varnish and it still didn’t last more than two years. I have now gone for the Ronseal product due to the price and the reviews. It looks really nice only time will tell if itv is any good.
Will have to see how it wears before i can commeny
Easy to apply & dries quickly, recoated next day & leaves a nice finish, only time will tell if it protects my cabin’s wooden window & door frames better than the previous treatment used.
Still hsiny for a satin but looking very tough
This is the Business. Water based product by same company remained sticky and gathered dirt on a high use table for 2 years, it seemed never to dry.
It has a lovely finish, takes quite a while to harden
Easy to apply and a quality finish, delighted with the results.
Easy to use, satin leaves a good sheen
Easy to use and gives a great finish.
We use this varnish to coat our wooden garden sculptures and the finish is really good while giving great protection.
This is not clear varnish. I largely discarded the instruction (apart from the temperature) and thinned the first 3 coats. Then, applied other two full coats and the wood took a nice rich colour. Very pleased with it.
This the only external varnish that I use, and I have never owned a yacht! A good hard protected finish and it lasts years in an English garden.
Easy to use and the result is good!
Good shape of tin with well fitting lid. Product should be stirred well. Easy to apply, satin finish as expected, has slight colour the amount depending on the base. Only time will tell how well it performs in sun, wind and rain.
It waterproof the shed keeping the wood looking beautiful
Easy to use with a great finish. Will use it again.
Used this as the cheaper one I normally use was out of stock. Supposedly drys quicker, but wasn’t rock hard for about a week. I have foot marks all over.
Many finishes have a relatively quick drying time and are able to be put into light use, however the products will continue to cure over a period of days and weeks before becoming fully hard. Each product will vary in timings and we recommend light use and no covering such as rugs for a minimum of 7 days.
Painted 5 Internal doors excellent finish. You must rub down the old work first to get a good finish.
I use it on my wooden canoe. It looks fantastic.
Used in restoration of 3 old park benches for village. Base treatment on new timber was Barrettine Premier Golden Brown. That was followed by a couple of coats of this Yacht Varnish. They look truly magnificent, and should last a few years.
In a perfect world, it would set a little harder, but I am dragging heavy loads across the wood every day. Applied really well no complaints.
Used it to protect an oak front door. Looks great and doesn't darken the oak. Not had a winter on it yet.
Arrived quickly and does exactly as it says on the tin. Easy to apply too.
Only used a bit so hard to judge but seems good.
Send me another email to review this product in five years time and I might be able to answer it truthfully.
Dried reasonably quickly convenient for multiple coats. How it will do over a long time period not possible to say, I’m optimistic.
Used it on all workwood on my boat & my plant troughs. I also have used on my carved ornimental gate.
Traditional clear gloss varnish, normally applied by brush. Will run if applied too thickly, so a couple of coats lightly sanded in between for best results. Clean up with white spirits. Allow plenty of drying time for final top coat.
Easy to use, especially with brush or pads to get even application. Great shine and colour. I do recommend a minimum of 4 coats on fresh planned wood for best results.
This is a great water sealer that we have used on our wood enclosed patio, paints on well, lovely colour and does exactly as it states, very pleased !
Always use this. Does what it says on the tin.☺
Exellent finish and very smooth, a bit on the dear side.
I used this before the very hot weather started as I felt that the decking was very dry, despite having been treated last year. I brushed it on and it was not too difficult to get a nice, even coat. It seems to have done the job, despite the searing heat we're having this summer, and it looks good, too!
Wanted this for variety of garden items including a mosaic top table that was made on non marine ply. Worked a treat and was water repellent after one coat, although I will do the recommended 3. It is quite a dark yellow though so be aware if your varnishing a white wood, it may look a bit yellow once 3 coats are on.
