      Sehestedt's Radiator Varnish  

         Dammar Varnish, not yellowing   

         A white, heat resistant and not yellowing varnish with good coverage quality 
         produced with pure natural ingredients. Its high elasticity prevents hairline 
         cracks and brittleness. Dry to the touch and ready for a second coat within 
         8-12 hours.  

         Ingredients: dammar resin, walnut oil (semirefined), bentonite, titan dioxide, 
         silicic dioxide (natural amorphous rock powder), finest mica, isoaliphate, pine oil  
         and orange turpentine.  
        
         Coating format and application: remove loose rust and old coats completely 
         and clean surface thoroughly. Apply two undiluted coats at an interval of 12 
          hours by brushing, spraying or rolling. If possible turn on radiator handwarm.  

         Coverage: approx. 0.75 l/10m² per undiluted coat.  

       Stir well all varnishes before use!  

       Turn opened containers upside down for storage. Fill unused portions into 
       smaller fitting containers.  

       Sehestedt's Black Iron Varnish  

       Very quickly drying black varnish, non toxic, non irritating scent especially for 
       blackening of stoves, stove pipes and top plates, but also for everything made 
       of metal not exposed to high mechanical impact as iron lattice, frames, 
       cast-iron windows and even durable on wood.  

       Ingredients: vine black, a well-known and well tried paint, non water soluble, 
       produced by dry destillation of marc and grapes as well as shellac, copal, 
       castor oil and alcohol.  

       Coating format: with strong signs of rust apply rust converter. Remove dust 
       after one day and quickly apply Black Iron Varnish. Second coat after drying 
       time of approx. 15 minutes. Apply several coats in the same way until an even 
       satin glossy finish is achieved. When heating the stove open windows until the 
       slightly developping smell disappears. There will not be any irritating scent 
       afterwards. Black Iron Varnish can be painted over again and again.  

       Sehestedt's Yacht Floor Varnish  

       This coating system is based on the tradition of Rathjen's Patent Paint for 
       yacht floors and was invented by Captain John Rathjen in Bremerhaven in 
       1860. Until 1917 it was used among others as `Norfolk Paint' by the Imperial 
       Navy and later by the American War Navy. For ecological reasons we 
       produce this paint without the toxical additives lead, arsenic, copper and other 
       toxical substances used in these antifoulings to prevent vegetation of algae and 
       mussels but the secondary advantage of this coating system being quick drying 
       and therefore short dock times, sea-water resistance of the shellac, we 
       recommend more frequent cleaning and renovation of coat.  

       Ingredients: shellac,alcohol, copal, castor oil standoil and pigments as vine 
       black, oxide red and others.  

       Coating format: remove loose rust from iron surfaces and treat with rust 
       converter. Remove loose varnish residues and algae layers thoroughly from 
       wood surfaces and sand finely. The wood must be perfectly dry. Quickly 
       apply 3 - 5 undiluted coats in intervals of 20 - 30 minutes with a suitable 
       brush.
