Sadolin Yacht Varnish is a durable, clear varnish specifically formulated to enhance the natural beauty of windows, doors, and conservatories. It offers waterproof protection and contains UV inhibitors to shield against sun damage, thereby preserving the existing color of your wood. While it provides long-lasting protection and resists peeling and flaking, it is not suitable for constant immersion in water or for use on decking. This varnish is ideal for exterior joinery and can be used on new wood or as a maintenance product. It delivers a clear gloss finish that accentuates the wood's aesthetics. Preparation is key; ensure surfaces are clean, sound, and dry. For previously coated timber, remove all defective coatings and sand back to clean, bright timber. Always conduct a test area before application and avoid applying in adverse weather conditions (rain, temperatures below 8°C or above 25°C, or humidity exceeding 80%). Stir the product thoroughly before and during application. Apply in a full, flowing coat, paying attention to end grains, tops and bottoms of doors, and undersides of sills. Two or three full coats are recommended, with 16-24 hours drying time between coats. Clean equipment immediately after use. Regular maintenance is advised, indicated by a reduction in sheen and water repellency.
