Ensure surfaces to be treated are free from any dust, dirt, wax, grease, oil or other surface contaminants that could affect the adhesion of the varnish.

Bare or New Timber

1. Lightly sand the surface, then remove any sanding dust and wipe with a lint-free cloth dampened with white spirit and allow to dry
2. Make good any holes or defects in the timber with Ronseal High Performance Wood Filler or Ronseal Multi Purpose Wood Filler
3. Remove any mould with a dedicated mould and mildew cleaner
4. Open doors and windows to allow for good ventilation while varnishing

Previously Varnished Timber

Remove any loose, flaking or peeling coatings with a scraper or a dedicated varnish remover, then treat as New Timber.

Always do a small test area before beginning any project to assess colour and compatibility of the finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times. Stir thoroughly before and during use to insure a consistent finish.

1. Apply the varnish evenly, using a good quality synthetic brush, in the direction of the wood grain
2. Apply 2-3 coats, leaving 1 hour between coats
3. Before applying the final coat, give the wood a quick sanding and wipe down with a lint-free cloth dampened with methylated spirit to help the varnish stick and give a smooth finish

Please Note: If you get any water on the varnish within the first couple of days, wipe it off gently with a clean, dry lint-free cloth. Do not rub it.

Cleaning Equipment

After use, brushes can be cleaned with warm, soapy water.

Regular Cleaning

Varnished surfaces can be cleaned by wiping with a dry (or slightly dampened) lint-free cloth.

Deep Cleaning

For stubborn marks, a dedicated wood cleaner can be used. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on the container.

Maintenance

If the finish begins to look worn over time, simply apply a fresh coat of Ronseal Diamond Hard Coloured Interior Varnish, following the Application instructions above.

Repair

To spot repair any scuffs or marks to the finish, simply clean the affected area and apply a fresh layer of varnish to the damaged area(s).

This varnish will make the surface of the wood water repellent not waterproof. If you get any water on the varnish within the first couple of days, before it has cured, wipe it off gently with a clean, dry lint-free cloth.

This is a one part polyurethane acrylate varnish which is water-based.

As this covers to 16m² per litre, per coat, we would expect a 750ml tin to cover approx 4.8m² with 3 coats.
