Sadolin Polyurethane Extra Durable Varnish is a premium water-borne varnish that delivers a tough, long-lasting protective finish for interior wood surfaces. Formulated with advanced polymer technology, it offers exceptional resistance to stains, spills, and everyday wear while maintaining a beautiful natural appearance. The non-yellowing formula ensures that wood retains its original tone, providing a crystal-clear finish that enhances the natural grain without discolouration over time.

Unlike traditional solvent-based varnishes, this water-borne system is low in odour, quick drying, and easy to clean, making it ideal for busy homes or commercial interiors. Whether applied in Clear Gloss, Clear Satin, or Clear Matt, the varnish creates a smooth, hard-wearing surface that is easy to maintain and resistant to scratches, scuffs, and household chemicals. Its fast recoat time allows two coats to be applied daily, saving project time.

Surface Preparation
Ensure all wood surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, wax, polish, and previous coatings that may prevent adhesion. Lightly sand bare wood toward the grain and remove all sanding dust. For previously varnished surfaces, sand to create a key for the new finish.

Stirring
Stir the varnish thoroughly before and during use to ensure an even consistency and sheen. Do not shake the container, which can create bubbles in the finish.

Application Method
Apply with a high-quality synthetic bristle brush, working toward the grain for a smooth, even coat. Avoid over-brushing to reduce brush marks.

First Coat
Apply a thin, even layer and allow it to dry for 1–2 hours. Before applying the next coat, check for any raised grain or imperfections and lightly sand with fine-grade sandpaper (e.g., 240 grit).

Second Coat
Apply a second thin coat after 2–4 hours for optimum durability and clarity. Two coats are generally sufficient, but a third coat can be applied to high-wear areas if desired.

Drying & Curing
Touch dry in 1–2 hours and recoat in 2–4 hours. Avoid heavy use or placing objects on the surface for at least 24 hours to allow the varnish to harden fully.

Clean-Up
Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Do not allow varnish to dry on equipment.

Tips for Best Results

  • Work in a well-ventilated room at temperatures between 10 and 25 °C.
  • Avoid applying in direct sunlight or near heat sources to prevent premature drying.
  • Always test on a small, inconspicuous area to confirm colour and sheen before complete application.
