For none of this I've brought it. But if it then but times for a (rowing) boat goes, is already clear, which it is painted: This Glasurit spar varnish is distinguished mainly by its great history; the appearance is similar to a spray painting! And despite this property the paint tends not to place undue 'runners' and 'curtains'. Have traditionally been regarded by me mainly decorative pieces such as old gardens and field devices, peat and wheelbarrows or yew-slices as kick plates for flower beds (looks really strong!). The coating system in these exposed woods is always the same basically: After possibly woodworm fighting extensively grinding (sand) from 'coarse to fine'. That meant for me actually getting: first with 80, then with 180 grit paper, nothing more. Conn. Wood preservation compounds (against blue stain, mold and insects) applying full. This can also handle the results can really be seen. A few more additions to the paint: Odour default, it is not without, about ten days should the parts aired outdoors. The yield is not high, in large objects' a lot of material is top, just after three overall painting. Skinning in an open vessel is strong sunlight, the processing is not possible. Thinning with white spirit is of course possible, but the glossy suffers. The surface hardness of the paint is high, there remains a residual elasticity, and that's a good thing ... Conclusion: To date, the best varnish, with whom I worked (in natural wood!), and I already have some by :) My Recommendation.
