How to use Rustins Yacht Varnish
- The surface must be clean, smooth and free from dust.
- Previously varnished surfaces should be cleaned with white spirit or Rustins Surface cleaner and steel wool to ensure the surface is clean and free from wax and grease before applying.
- If applying over an existing varnish, it should also be lightly sanded to provide a key.
- If the existing finish is flaking or cracking, it should be stripped using Rustins Strypit Paint and Varnish Stripper.
- Weather-stained wood can be bleached with a Wood Bleach.
- Shake or stir the tin well before use
- Using a good quality soft bristled brush, apply the Rustins Yacht varnish evenly.
- When applying onto new wood, thin the varnish with 25% white spirit.
- The thickness of the varnish film is important and for good durability, so at least three coats should be applied. Ensure each coat is hard and dry before re-applying. We usually recommend leaving for 24 hours between coats.
- 1 litre will cover approximately 13 sqm in one coat depending on the absorbency of the surface.
- Clean brushes whilst wet using Rustins Brush Cleaner or white spirit.
- Hard brushes can be cleaned with Rustins Brush Restorer.
