RONSEALInterior Varnish Matt 250ml, Clear

First things first, 250ml seems like a small quantity but a little goes a long way with this product. I purchased this in order to varnish several long skirting boards. Initially I was skeptical, surely this small tin can't do the whole job, but it did and that too with three coats.The product is also very easy to work with, it appears milky and certainly feels that way too, a fine paint brush is all that is needed to use this. Cleaning is also easy, simply rinse your paint brush with warm soapy water and your good to go. Drying times are also very quick.Do bear in mind, that the first coat goes unnoticed, the second is just about visible, the third coat is where you can tell you've actually made any progress. Although each coat does not use a lot of the product, if I was to criticise the product, you could argue it takes several coats to see any noticeable difference, but the end result is what matters. Ultimately the results are stunning, even with the color being clear.If you found my review helpful, please click the "Yes" button to state this so I know its been a help to someone. Thank you!

I got this to do the kitchen door where the varnish has worn off over the last 40 years, and I had to literally guess what type of varnish to use, so I took a guess on matt and fortunately I was correct.I generally use Ronseal polyurethane varnish and have done over the past 40 years now, so the water based varnish did come as a bit of a shock and a new learning curve.The first thing I notice when I opened the tin that is is 'milky' in colour and quite watery too.I applied the first coat which went on really easily but an hour later when it was dry I struggled to see any difference, but I applied the second coat anyway.Another hour later and it did seem to show a slight matt gloss, so on went the third and final coat, and another hour later I was happy with the finish.Cleaning the brush was so easy, just some washing up liquid and then a rinse afterwards and job done.So what have I learnt ?Unlike polyurethane varnish, where I normally put on just 1 or occasionally 2 coats, I needed to put 3 coats on the get the required finish with this varnish but on the plus side, it was easier to put on, showed no brush marks and the brush was so easy to clean just using water.All in all I am very happy with this varnish and have no hesitation in recommending it, 5 stars all day long.Thank You for taking the time to read this and please let me know if you found this review helpful by clicking the "Helpful" button.

This product isn't what I expected from a varnish: it has a thin, milky consistency, and no solvent odour. However it does the job brilliantly. A 250ml tin was enough to do one interior oak panelled door with 3 coats: the first coat used about half the tin, but having sealed it, the subsequent coats took less.The instructions are simple: leave one hour between coats, and before applying the last coat, sand down lightly and wipe with a damp cloth. Brushes clean easily in warm soapy water.

I have recently taken up Pyrography and needed a varnish that would be easy to coat the wood, dried quickly and was easy to clean out the brushes... and this does all of those jobs for me. The brushes can be washed out in just hot soapy water. It takes just an hour to dry before you can apply another coat. When you first open the can it is a milky white colour which is a little strange and off-putting but it dries clear and you get used to its earlier appearance. It does take 3 coats for a good look/finish but this is a good bargain to strike with the other pluses.

Used on top of frenchic paint. Wanted to keep the Matt finish and it works perfectly really easy to use and dries really quickly. The finish was perfect with a nice smooth effect makes it easy to wipe clean and protects the paint. Very happy with this product
