Weatherproof Varnish is a clear, polyurethane timber finish incorporating maximum UV screening to provide excellent, long-lasting protection against the elements. It is ideal for applying to timbers where a tough clear satin or gloss finish is required with resistance to sunlight, salt mist, chemicals, oils and solvents.

PREPARATION

How to prepare new timber:

Allow new timber to adapt and adjust to the climate in its final position for 4-6 weeks.

APPLICATION

Follow these instructions on how to clear coat using Weatherproof Varnish:

Feast Watson Weatherproof Varnish should be stirred thoroughly before and during application with a flat blade stirrer. Take care not to introduce bubbles!
Using a brush, roller or spray, apply Spar Marine Varnish.
- Are you using a spray? If so, the Weatherproof Varnish may be thinned by using 10% mineral turpentine.
- Are you using a roller? If so, use a short nap (5mm) mohair roller. Ensure edges and end grain are fully coated.
Make sure to apply minimum three coats.
- Four or more coats may be applied for extra durability, or when the coating has been thinned.
Allow 12 hours drying between coats. Sand lightly between coats.
- The final coat should be applied within 30 hours of the previous coat to ensure timber is protected.

MAINTENANCE

Just a few easy steps to maintain that glow!

Regularly monitor the surface for signs of colour loss or surface defects.
When required, lightly sand the surface and remove dust. Recoat with additional coats of Feast Watson Weatherproof Varnish as per application instructions.
