  • FINISHED WOOD: Sand well with sandpaper to obtain a smooth surface. Remove any residue and dust.
  • BEFORE: Brush thoroughly to remove any residue from previous application. Sand with sandpaper to obtain a smooth surface. Remove residues and dust.
  • HARD & DIFFICULT WOOD: On hard and difficult woods (oak, chestnut, exotic woods), dilute 15% with water for the 1st coat. Apply the 2nd coat without dilution. On oily woods, clean first with a solvent cleaner or with a suitable V33 cleaning and protection product.

After 3 hours apply the 2nd layer.

TIPS

  • Inside the container, the product may have a milky appearance, which disappears once the varnish has been applied and dried.
  • Caution: The shade of the product in the container does not correspond to the final shade.
  • On new or very worn surfaces, a 3rd coat is recommended for lighter shades.
  • Ideal application conditions: between 12 and 25°C in dry weather and without draughts.
  • The transparent shade (colourless) is recommended for indoor use. For outdoor use, use it to dilute other shades.
  • The final shade depends on the original colour of the wood and its age. The older the wood, the darker the result.
  • On south-facing surfaces, apply a 3rd coat.
