One-component clear varnish system on wood above the waterline Surface Preparation: Bare wood must be clean, dry and free of grease etc. Degrease with Epifanes Spray Thinner For Paint & Varnish or denatured alcohol. Wiping down with mineral or white spirits, may leave an oily residue. Do not use water. Sand the bare wood to a fresh surface with 60 - 80 grit dry abrasive paper with the grain of the wood. A block may be used to assist in fairing the surface. Finish sand with 100 - 120 grit dry abrasive paper. If desired, stain the wood at this time with a good quality oil or water based stain. Do not color the varnish itself as this will create a muddy appearance. Brush application with a good quality, clean, natural bristle brush will give good results. Try an Epifanes brush for the ultimate varnishing experience. Foam brushes are convenient on smaller projects however, are not suitable for larger jobs. "Roll and tip" is a great method for large flat areas. 3" foam roller followed by a bristle brush is the best combination.

Machines can be too aggressive. Maintenance: If existing coats of varnish are intact, one or more coats may be applied on a well cleaned, degreased and lightly sanded surface. For annual maintenance, apply a minimum of one or two coats of Epifanes Clear Gloss Varnish, following surface preparation instruction. The number of maintenance coats needed depends on the condition of the varnish system. Epifanes Clear Gloss Varnish may also be applied on any well cleaned, degreased and sanded two-component varnish. The weather and atmospheric conditions to which the finish is subjected will determine the amount of time between coats. An existing varnish system in poor condition must be removed. Weathered spots may be treated with a cleaning or bleaching product. If either are used, wash down the surface thoroughly with fresh water in order to remove any residue. Allow the surface to dry. Smaller spots needing repair may be filled with several coats of varnish. When an equal level has been achieved, sand to a smooth surface and apply one or more coats of varnish on the entire surface.
