How to use Rustins Yacht Varnish

1. The surface must be clean, smooth and free from dust.
2. 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.
3. If applying over an existing varnish, it should also be lightly sanded to provide a key.
4. If the existing finish is flaking or cracking, it should be stripped using Rustins Strypit Paint and Varnish Stripper.
5. Weather-stained wood can be bleached with a Wood Bleach.
6. Shake or stir the tin well before use
7. Using a good quality soft bristled brush, apply the Rustins Yacht varnish evenly.
8. When applying onto new wood, thin the varnish with 25% white spirit.
9. 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.
