Rustins Quick Dry Varnish Satin Clear Usage Instructions

Preparation: Surfaces must be clean and previous coatings should be removed with Rustin’s Strypit Paint and Varnish Stripper. It is advisable to clean old surfaces with White Spirit to remove any wax or contamination, wipe away the solution formed with clean kitchen paper towels. Bare wood may be dyed with either Rustin’s Wood Dye before varnishing (see Compatibility section below).
Application: Synthetic brush, Varnish Roller or Spray (can be diluted with water about 10% if necessary for spraying, or if the temperature is high).
Coats: 2 or 3. Lightly sand after 1st coat to flatten any raised grain. Drying Time: Touch dry in 20 minutes typically, depending on temperature and humidity. Re-coating Time: Re-coat after 2 hours
Application Temp. Ideally 15-25°C, do not use below 10°C or in conditions of high humidity.
Maintenance: The varnish will take 3 days to fully harden. Spills should be wiped-up immediately during this time to prevent damage. The surface can be cleaned as required with a mild detergent solution, do not use aggressive cleaning products. Re-coat the varnish as necessary, after cleaning and lightly sanding the surface.
Compatibility: Can be applied over either Rustin’s Wood Dye, other brands may be incompatible. Bare wood may be bleached with Rustin’s Wood Bleach prior to varnishing. Not for use over scumbles or oil-based paints. Other types of coatings/stains may be incompatible, including acrylic paints and vinyl emulsion. If using anything other than Rustin’s Wood Dye, a test area should be coated to determine compatibility.
Settlement: Stir well before use. Satin and Matt finishes may dry glossy if not thoroughly stirred, check for settlement on the bottom of the tin and stir to mix-in.
Clean-Up: With water whilst wet. If dried-on, clean equipment and brushes with either Rustin’s Brush Restorer or Rustin’s Strypit.
