EverbuildQuick Drying Clear Varnish – Indoor Use – Ideal For Interior Wood – Scratch-Resistant – Satin Finish – 2.5 Litre

The varnish looks opaque but dries clear. It gives excellent coverage, because of its thin consistency which was perfect for me as I wanted to apply lots of very thin coats. The first couple of coats stayed tacky for a really long time, nearly 3 days each, but that might have had something to do with the unusually warm weather this July. The subsequent coats (I applied 5 in total) dried solid in no time at all. I used it on a beautiful piece of bare ash. The varnish both darkened the wood and yellowed it, but to a small extent, and it brought out the grain which all in all made the wood look mellow and quite lovely.As for the satin part, in reality the more coats you apply, the glossier the finish. I ended up with full-on mirror shine and a bit of a plasticky look, but this was easily remedied by sanding the last coat very lightly with fine grade sandpaper.The tin clearly states that this product is only suitable for interiors, and also that it is not suitable as a floor varnish.The smell is there, but nothing too toxic; I am very sensitive to fumes, and I didn't get headaches. And it was great to be able to clean the brush with just water and washing up liquid.I also applied it in a small patch on white-painted wood, and it did not change the white colour at all, so I would say that one thin coat of this varnish will work well as a protective finish to painted furniture. But I would recommend you do a small test patch first.

This stuff was easy to apply and work with, i used it to varnish some upcycled drawers and it applies smoothly, dries really quickly into a clear kind of satin finish, theres no strong toxic smells either. Great stuff, will be using again.

I have taken up up cycling old furniture and needed some varnish to give a nice finish to a gin cabinet I made out of an old writing desk.Initially when it arrived, I thought I would be buying some more very soon due to the size of the tin but this goes a long way and is great quality.I would highly recommend this product to anyone and will be buying more to use on my future projects to start up my business.

Have used it on wood slices. Looks lovely.

Totally brought out the natural wood effect

I ordered a tin too small for my brush! I wasn't sure if the gloss would dry white or clear because the varnish looked white in the tin and I couldn't find anything on the tin to tell me why. I probably wouldn't purchase this item again, prefering the durability of the Ronseal tough varnish - but this was cheap and cheerful and is indeed a clear varnish. I probably wouldn't recommend this item.

Great varnish

Is as expected good item
