Epifanes Varnish Systems

Clear Varnish Systems and Varnish Systems for Teak

Surface Preparation: Bare wood must be free of grease, etc. Degrease with Epifanes Spraythinner for Paint & Varnish. Do not use water. Sand bare wood with 60-80 grit abrasive paper along the grain of the wood, and then sand with grits from 100 to 220. Apply with a clean, longhaired, bristle brush of good quality. Epifanes Brushes will bring best results.
