Appearance and Application Tips:
The finish of Palatine Yacht Varnish is clear with a high gloss. While we advise it has a slight “straw” tint, our customers use it because of its clarity. Browse the reviews for more details.
With a good wet edge it is easy to apply by brush or roller. It can also be applied by conventional or airless spray.
We recommend a minimum of two coats of yacht varnish for maximum protection and always allow for the suggested time between coats (see directions for use above).
This coating is touch dry in two hours and hard dry in 8 hours.
It can be used on hardwood, softwood, metals and other substrates (contact us if you are unsure).
When applying an outdoor varnish or paint, avoid windy conditions which can blow dust and grit into your wet surface.
Yacht varnish is an excellent tough coating with an attractive high gloss finish. Our other varnishes for wood include Polyurethane Varnish and Polyurethane Floor Varnish. For an eggshell finish yacht varnish, see Coo-Var Yacht & Seaplane Varnish Eggshell. If you are unsure which varnish to use give us a call on 01942 884122. Take care if removing old coatings containing lead, please visit the BCF for an illustration on how to deal with this.
Preparation:
Proper surface preparation is essential for the success of any protective coating system. Before you begin ensure the area is free from any dust, oil, grease, old coatings and surface contaminants.
All surfaces to be painted should be clean, dry and free from loose and flaking material, dust, grease etc.
Rub down previously gloss painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper and rinse thoroughly.
Application:
Best results are obtained in warm (minimum 10°C), dry conditions.
Mix thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes using a drill stirrer. A wooden batten at least 25mm wide is also ideal.
Apply an even coat using a brush, short to medium pile roller on smooth surfaces.
For spray application by either airless or conventional spray a dilution ration of no more than 10% is recommended with Palatine White Spirit by volume applying thin coats allowing each one to dry before applying subsequent coats.
Once dried, a second coat can be applied at full strength. This will prolong the life and performance of the coating.
Thinning and Cleaning: Use Palatine White Spirit.
A minimum of two coats is recommended on bare wood to optimize the coatings performance.
Please note: The colours on the product listings are only given as a guide. This is due to the fact that every computer monitor has a different capability to display colours. In addition, everyone sees these colours differently. Sample pots are available to order upon request. Always carry out a test patch (approximately 100x100mm) before full application to ensure compatibility with previous coatings and the substrate, and to ensure the colour achieved meets your requirements. Failure to do so will result in a product refund claim not being accepted.

I have used the marine varnish on the external rubbing rails and cockpit of a South Coast One Design and found it has lasted far better than the Epifans yacht varnish or the Hempel Quick Drying yacht varnish, particularly for high wear areas.
