Directions: Apply with a soft brush, spray (diluted with alcohol if needed), or for woodworking, use the French Polish method with a pad on a completely dry surface. Allow to dry. Clean brushes and tools with any type of alcohol.
For Matte Finishes: Our varnish has a natural gloss lustre that can be turned matte with fine abrasives such as 4/0 grade steel wool, 800 grit sandpaper, or pumice stones.
Formula: Our varnish is made from food-grade ingredients, including grain alcohol, natural resins, oils, and other all-natural ingredients, making it a 100% natural and non-toxic spirit varnish.
Applications: This varnish is ideal for paintings, musical instruments, fine furniture, sculpture, and various craft projects. With its high alcohol content, it penetrates deeply on the first coat, leaving a beautiful film finish.
