Waterlox Original High Gloss

Waterlox Original High Gloss

Waterlox has served generations of floor installers, turners, carvers, and furniture makers as a reliable, easily applied tung-oil-based varnish. Polymerized tung oil, ester gum, polymerized linseed oil, and a high ratio of phenolic resin allow it to build a tough surface film which resists scuffs and staining admirably. Apply by wiping, brushing, rolling, spaying or (on flooring) with lambswool pad; thin and clean up with mineral spirits or turpentine. Waterlox is tack-free and ready to recoat in 6-24 hours dependent on temperature, humidity and ventilation. Repair is easy: sand out the damage and recoat! Coverage is around 450 square feet per gallon per coat; soft woods require more coats than very hard woods. Waterlox is an excellent choice when you require the toughness and sheen of a varnish without the peculiarly plastic look of polyurethane.
