Littlefair'sVarnish for Wood - 5ltr - X Strong & Fast Drying Wood Varnish - Water Based Interior Polyurethane Wood Finish - Lacquer Clear Coat for Wood - Clear Coating Wood Protector - Satin

I was working on a project that had a finish consisting of various types of paint- gold enamel paint; water-based metallic paints; alkyd-based black satin paint. The project cost me quite a bit of money and hundreds of hours of effort so it was imperative that my work didn't end up destroyed. I was very concerned about varnish compatibility given that I was planning on sealing work made up of different kinds of paint and after a fairly long time tentatively considering more well-known brands I decided to purchase this on the back of the largely favourable reviews even though it looks like an unknown, small family business going by the name and the style of the packaging. However I'm very glad that I did. The product went on very smoothly with the foam sponge 'brush' that I used and dried quickly. There was enough in the bottle to apply a second coat and the varnish cured after a couple of days. There is no odour with this product as it is water-based. This formula also means that it will not yellow over time. I would definitely use this product again and would recommend it to anyone.

I am now on my second litre, I do not generally write any reviews but this varnish is brilliant and warrants it. I have applied it both by spray gun and manually by brush, I can detect no difference in the final finish and only needed to apply two coats with a light rub over with one of my wife's saucepan scourers. I first used this varnish to refinish some inherited old and battered family furniture well over a year ago, the finish is as good now as when first applied. Was so impressed with its toughness following some home improvement have used it as a durable alternative to oiling all my new hard wood interior doors.It dries quickly, the only possible downside is when applied by brush it is slightly watery and if you overload your brush you will likely have a few drips, so sheet up if you are concerned about your flooring. It does however drops seem to scrap off laminate quite reasonably if a strong thumbnail is applied. Hope this helps

This varnish really works!! iv rubbed down an old painted cupboard and repainted it with a water based wood and metal valspar paint, but as with possibly most painted wood surfaces they scratch !! so not wanting to have to touch up I thought would try and find a suitable water based varnish to be honest I wasn’t sure it would be as good as it is so after 2 coats of paint then 1coat of varnish rubbed it down with smooth sand paper and then applied 1 more coat of varnish. So really when I used this smooth sand paper on the first coat it never took any of the wood paint off underneath it, I new it was perfect for the job and would stand up to every day use

This was excellent. I painted a brown wood effect laminate floor, distressed it to look like floor boards, stencilled on top, sealed with this product, fabulous finsh, great product.

Arrived super quick looked bigger in the picture online but I didn’t think about really how big a litre would be so that’s down to me was expensive though easy to use looks pretty good dry too using to coat chalk paint need to look for cheaper alternative though as I have big units to cover and too pricey to buy a few bottles in all a good product

I used this product for a high gloss finish on an acoustic guitar. The resulting finish is excellent. Fast drying and no odour are plus points.

Having wanted to seal some acrylic painted 3D prints that are handled frequently I was tired of Vallejo sealants chipping after a few weeks, and wanted to try something not intended for models.After reading descriptions and reviews I thought this would be a good replacement, after all, it's more expensive than the Vallejo varnishes.Firstly - this is not "matt" - it's satin at best. Humbrol and Vallejo do better matt finishes (doesn't matt mean not shiny at all?).Secondly - this stuff is not close to strong. Having applies several coats through an air-brush (thinned maybe 10% at most) and left hours to dry a quick fingernail test failed miserably. You can literally rub this off with light pressure from a thumb in seconds.Not impressed really. Don't get me wrong - if you never intend on touching the thing your sealing then I suppose it's fine - but for the cost and description I feel a little ripped off.

Due to Covid had to wait 2 weeks, due 17th April. Supplier marked as despatched 12th April, but the courier showed this was not collected by them until 17th April. Arrived 22nd and had no communication from supplier. Very very easy to apply. I used both an air compressor and paintbrush.. It's quite runny and ran on low pressure. however, it was easy to catch the drips straight away and didn't cause a mess, so that was a big plus. Hardly any smell, big plus. Dried amazingly quick, big plus. Application and drying time then top of my list. (I upcycle an incredible amount) and by far the best I've used at this point. However, was very disappointed with the final finish, it didn't seem to have hardly any sheen and satin should have some! I also noted that the bits that were, were patchy, even though it had been applied with aircompressor. I also put four coats on, don't think you would need this many normally but I used air compressor lol. All in all it is quick and easy and I did like it but don't think it is worth the extra cost and also delivery times bought this down
