Overview

Dulux Trade Polyurethane Varnish is a solvent-based interior varnish ideal for use over bare wood, previously stained or varnished surfaces. Tough and durable, this varnish can withstand knocks, scuffs and spills and is suitable for interior wood, veneer, cork and chipboard.

• Tough & durable
• Give extra protection against knocks, scuffs and spills
• For doors, furniture, joinery and trims
• High coverage - up to 16m² per litre

Preparation

To get the best results, ensure surfaces to be varnished are sound, clean and dry (new surfaces particularly must be fully dry) before treating.

• Remove all loose and defective coatings, if necessary stripping back to bare wood. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead.
• Thoroughly rub down all surfaces in the direction of the grain to provide a ‘key’, using ‘wet flatting’ methods where possible, then wipe off with a damp, lint free cloth.
• Fill any surface defects, open joints etc. Do not use linseed oil putty for making good with natural wood finishes.
• In multi-coat work, it is advisable to lightly rub down between coats, in the direction of the grain, using a suitable grade of abrasive paper and then wipe off with a damp, lint free cloth.

Application

Note: Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin. We recommend to test a small area before painting the entire surface to ensure compatibility.

• Dulux Trade Polyurethane Varnish is ready to use. Do not thin.
• Apply up to 3 coats with a brush only.
• Dulux Trade Polyurethane Varnish is not suitable for use on other surfaces such as masonry. The gloss finish is recommended on surfaces subject to heavy wear and tear.
