Sehestedt's Oil Varnish for interior and exterior areas   

A natural Yacht Varnish 

This glossy clear varnish can be utilized as floor , furniture and yacht varnish. It has a good coverage quality, produces a glossy finish, is water resistant, non-abrasive and very fast due to its high elasticity. After drying it has an anti-static effect and creates a non-toxic surface.. With this oil varnish no water is polluted neither when produced nor when applied as yacht varnish.  

Ingredients: Wood /oil stand oil -copal cooking, best linseed oil standoil, castor oil standoil, orange peel turpentine and a blend of the dry substances calcium, cobalt and zirconium.  

Application instructions: apply three coats of the varnish on perfectly prepared surface with brush or roller. Drying time 24 hours for each coat at 18-20°C and normal humidity. Possibly up coming wood fibres require sanding between the coats. For cork floors and highly absorbent wood apply a generous coat or even extra coat. Hardwoods like oak and beech and stone floors should be pre-treated with diluted turpentine oil (up to 30%).  

Coverage: Per coat approx. 1.0 l/10m²  

The distinction between exterior and interior varnish depends on their higher or lower oil content. If the relation oil:resin is 3:1 and higher the oil varnish will be a `fat' one, 1-fatty varnishes and below are lean oil varnishes. Generally weather fastness improves with increasing oil content while water resistance impairs. Therefore when applied as yacht varnish its fat content is increased with fatty oil (1:1 with linseed oil/wood oil Exterior Wood Glaze )for the first coat and reduced with each subsequent coat  

If the yacht varnish is to be rather water resistant than weatherproof the oil varnish is applied like floor varnish. It is then not blended with fatty oil in any coat and the wood is not primed with oil either but the Oil Varnish is applied as described above.  

Matt finish for Floor Oil Varnish  

Up to 20% matt agent carefully blended in Oil Varnish produces satin glossy varnish coats in the interior area. It should, however, be considered that a matt surface is more prone to soiling. Sanding as an alternative on the other hand would reduce its coverage quality. A matt effect should only be given to the last sparing coat whereas the first coats will be glossy.  

Ingredients: wood oil standoil-copal cooking, linseed oil standoil, castor standoil, citrus turpentine oil, calcium sikkative, silicic acid and microwax.
