Product Information

I can’t say enough good about these products. Go on easily! Dry fast! And give your product a good clean finish! Water-based varnishes are made of acrylic or polyurethane resins dissolved in water. They are low-odour, easy to clean with water, and environmentally friendly. On advancing to the third layer, the role shifts to offering protection, bolstering the wood’s strength, and amplifying its inherent colours. Its drying timeframe generally mirrors that of the second coat, given their similar constitution. Work in a dust-free environment: When applying varnish, it is important to work in a dust-free environment. Cover the floors and nearby surfaces with drop cloths to prevent dust from settling on the wet varnish. The classic choice. Using natural or synthetic brushes ensures an even coat and reaches every nook. However, it may introduce imperfections like bubbles and drips, extending drying time. Top tips? Opt for quality brushes, apply thin layers, and sand lightly between coats. Spraying

Liberon's Natural Finish Interior Varnish is a water-based, eco-label varnish for most interior wood surfaces. Highly resistant to impact, scratches and stains, you can enjoy a durable, long lasting finish.Varnishes can also increase the lifespan of materials by preventing moisture penetration and other forms of damage, making them an important investment for any construction project. Choosing the right type of varnish for a particular application can make a significant difference in the overall quality and longevity of the finished project. Other types of varnishes include spirit varnishes (such as shellac or lacquer), which are made of natural resins dissolved in alcohol or turpentine; spar varnishes (such as marine or outdoor varnishes), which are made of oils, solvents, resins, UV protectors, and drying agents; and speciality varnishes (such as coloured or glittery varnishes), which are made for specific purposes or effects. Liberon Kitchen and Bathroom Varnish is a specially formulated, water based varnish for wet and humid rooms. Resistant to both water and high temperatures it is ideal for kitchen work surfaces or for wooden bathroom furniture. High humidity levels prolong drying, whereas low levels expedite it. It’s optimal to varnish when humidity lies between 40% and 60%. By understanding how these factors affect the drying time of varnish and how to control them, you can ensure a faster and better quality finish for your wood projects. Number of Coats and their Influence on Drying Time

Exposure to UV rays and water can cause materials to fade, warp, and even rot. High-quality varnishes are designed to resist the damaging effects of UV rays and water, keeping the construction project looking and functioning at its best for a longer period. Enhanced aesthetic appeal Because it’s water-based rather than oil-based, decorator’s varnish is very easy to apply without streaks or runs – just use a good quality brush or roller and apply the varnish in smooth strokes. Choose the dead flat version for wallpaper and painted walls, but always try a small test application somewhere inconspicuous first to ensure that the varnish doesn’t alter the colour – it should dry undetected, but there can occasionally be a slight colour change. Better safe than sorry! For that pro finish, preparation is absolutely key – which is why we mention it so often in our blogs! But equally important is the peace of mind you get from knowing your decorating exploits are going to stand the test of time. Decorator’s varnish helps to provide a longer-term result where it’s most needed. What is decorator’s varnish?

Follow the drying time: Allow each coat of varnish to dry completely before applying the next coat. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for drying time and temperature. To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

Any equipment used can be cleaned using soap and water before the clear coat dries. Wipe any excess off surfaces with a damp cloth. Any dried deposits will need a paint stripper to remove them
