151 Yacht Varnish - Gloss 180ml

I bought this to protect the top of a bathroom vanity unit I'm building and wanted a durable water resistant finish and this seemed like the right size tin for the job.Upon applying it does go on very thick and after 2 days it was still very tacky so I thought I had messed up but after doing some checking online there are several factors that can prevent it drying properly, applying too thick, humidity and temperature can all affect it so I cranked up the heat in the workshop and alas it is nearly fully dry and has a lovely finish. It is gloss bear in mind so it does have the wet look and as others have said it really does stink so use in a well ventilated area. For the price though it is very good varnish and a little does go a long way, I bought 2 tins but not sure I'm going to need the second one. A couple of tips I found online though suggest diluting with 10% white spirit and adding a varnish dryer additive which apparently speeds up the drying time by 25% (I haven't tried it yet but will next time). Time will tell how good it really is though.

Brilliant, takes a while to really dry but made huge difference to finish and very hard wearing

Good quality varnish.Long drying time.

Completed the job, good but it very smelly

Love it .drys clear I use it on some of my customs large scale figures for that extra shine on a few areas such as eyes .Takes a while to dry but looks great when done .

This is an acrylic varnish.Just as good as any other type of varnish.Excellent.

Very strong odour must be used outside, drys very slowly but gives a good gloss finish.

It was slow to dry, and slightly patchy finish, but good waterproof.
