Decorative Furniture Varnish
Home ColourCare Decorative Furniture Varnish is ideal for decorating furniture and woodwork inside the home: chests of drawers, bedside tables, doors, cupboards, chairs, beams, and other small upcycling projects. Can be applied directly to any type of surface requiring redecoration or customisation: varnished wood, stained wood, veneered wood, laminates, melamine, MDF and more.
Preparation
- Porous wood (bare wood, MDF, etc.): Lightly sand the surface and remove dust.
- Varnished wood: Wash with a sugar soap cleaner, rinse thoroughly with clean water and leave to dry. Lightly sand the surface with a 240-grit abrasive and remove dust.
- Veneered, Laminated OR Melamine-faced wood Wash with a sugar soap cleaner, rinse thoroughly with clean water and leave to dry.
- Waxed or oiled wood: Remove the finish, sand, and remove dust from the surface.
Application
- Stir with a long wide stick to mix the product thoroughly.
- Apply a first thin coat with a brush in the direction of the grain. Leave to dry for 4 hours.
- Apply the second coat using the same procedure. Leave to dry for 12 hours.
For large vertical surfaces, apply 2 coats with a short pile roller. For bright colours, an additional coat may be necessary. Optimal resistance of this varnish is obtained after 20 days of drying. The surface should therefore be treated with care (avoid knocks, stains, etc.) for the first 20 days. Observe the recommended coverage rate for the product and do not apply either too thickly or too thinly. Apply the varnish at an ambient temperature of between 12 and 25°C and avoid draughts. Avoid painting against an edge which is still drying. Once the project is completed, clean tools in water. Use a mild detergent to clean surfaces coated with the varnish. Do not use abrasive sponges.
