McCloskey Marine Spar Varnish

McCloskey Marine Spar Varnish

While varnish is not a finish to be hurried in it's application, the reward of a rich amber hue accentuating the wood's grain and beauty is the payoff for those willing to wait. Varnish can't be rushed, needing 24 hours between coats with four coats recommended to create a finish for maximum outdoor protection. Yet for those who persevere, the blend of alkyd and tung oil phenolic resins in this varnish will bring forth a tough and flexible finish.

The elastic "give" of cured varnish can withstand dull impacts and seasonal wood movement better than a standard polyurethane finish, which is more apt to crack allowing water to seep behind the finish. UV absorbers help shield the wood from sun damage. Great for exterior wood doors. Clean up withe mineral spirits. One quart covers 75-100 square feet.
