While varnish is not a finish to be hurried in it's application, the reward of a rich amber hue accentuating the
wood's grain and beauty is the payoff for those willing to wait. Varnish can't be rushed, needing 24 hours
between coats with four coats recommended to create a finish for maximum outdoor protection. Yet for those who
persevere, the blend of alkyd and tung oil phenolic resins in this varnish will bring forth a tough and flexible
finish.
The elastic "give" of cured varnish can withstand dull impacts and seasonal wood movement better
than a standard polyurethane finish, which is more apt to crack allowing water to seep behind the finish. UV
absorbers help shield the wood from sun damage. Great for exterior wood doors. Clean up with mineral
spirits. One quart covers 75-100 square feet.
