Techniques
A coat of Clear Glaze Medium is recommended as a barrier coat prior to varnishing depending on climate and humidity.
Matte and Satin Varnish should be shaken gently before use to disperse matting agent. Overshaking will cause bubbles.
Use Varnish full strength. If thinning is necessary, add drops of Flow Medium or Retarder. Do not over dilute.
Apply thin layers in a criss-cross motion using a soft but firm bristle brush suitable to surface size
Smooth coat with final brushstrokes in the direction of the wood grain.
Allow to air dry a minimum of an hour before applying additional coats. Drying time varies depending on climate and humidity.
Apply three coats before sanding. Sand lightly if 24 hours have lapsed between coats to ensure proper adhesion.
For alcohol resistant finish or for outdoor use, apply a minimum of 4 to 5 coats of varnish. Allow to cure a minimum of 2 weeks before use.
If using a hair dryer for surface drying, hold away from the surface and avoid excessive heat which could cause crazing.
