Boat Varnish

The substrate must be clean, dry, capable of bearing a load, and free from substances that may impair adhesion (oil, grease, wax).

Thoroughly remove any dirt, grease and non-adhering old coatings.

Sand grey and weathered wood surfaces down to sound, bright wood.

Thoroughly sand any old coatings that are still intact.

Remove loose knots and any surface resin with a suitable product (e.g. Remmers Thinner & Brush Cleaner).

Stir well.

Apply using a brush or roller.

Apply a thin layer of the material.

Apply in the direction of the grain.

Apply 3 coats, with light intermediate sanding between each one.

Maintenance/renovation: apply 1-2 coats with light sanding in between.

Seal opened containers well and use contents as soon as possible.

Make sure that the area is well ventilated during processing and drying.

Check colour, adhesion and compatibility with the substrate by setting up a trial area.

End grain areas should be painted over with several coats of the material in the corresponding colour to protect against water absorption.

Areas that are being coated or dried should be protected against rain, wind, sunlight and condensation.

If mechanical damage occurs, it must be repaired immediately.

Dust-dry: 5 h
Touch dry: 6 h
Ready for next coat: approx. 12 h

Low temperatures, thick layers, low air exchange and high humidity lead to drying delays

Ready to use

Paintbrush with natural bristles, foam roller

Ensure that any residue from cleaning is disposed of correctly.

Clean tools immediately after use with thinner and brush cleaner.

If stored unopened in its original container in a cool, dry place and protected against frost, the product will keep for at least 24 months.

Use the contents of open containers as quickly as possible.

Approx. 30 - 40 ml/m² per coat

Applying multiple thin layers of the material improves durability and adhesion.

Mechanically stressed surfaces require shorter care and maintenance intervals

On planed larch and softwoods with a high resin content, the coating may have reduced adhesion and resistance to weathering. This is especially the case on horizontal year rings, knots and areas of winter growth that are high in resin. Maintenance and renovation must be carried out more frequently on these surfaces.
The only remedy for this is pre-weathering or very coarse sanding (P80).
If these wood types are rough-sawn, considerably longer maintenance and renovation intervals are to be expected.

Impregnate non-resistant softwoods with a wood preservative*. (*Use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use.)

Larger quantities of leftover product should be disposed of in the original containers in accordance with the applicable regulations. Completely empty, clean containers should be recycled. Do not dispose of together with household waste. Do not allow to enter the sewage system. Do not empty into drains.
