Polyvine Wax Finish Varnish Satin Finish 1L Clear

Used this product previously so this is 2nd bottle . Easy to apply, dries quickly and forms a wipe able sturdy coating . Bottle goes a long way, good coverage, coats can be built up on surfaces that will have a lot of wear, and if stored correctly will last

I was asked to restore a decrepit and broken rocking chair that had been left outdoors. The seat was split in half, many of the spindles had broken free and much of the woodwork was warped. After extensive repairs I was requested to decorate it in chalk paint. I searched many options of a finishing varnish and after reading favorable reviews chose this one. I wasn't disappointed. I was initially concerned by some reviews that claimed it either dissolved or removed chalk paint. I had no such experience and can't understand how that can occur or what those reviewers might have been doing wrong. I used as synthetic brush, loading it very lightly, spreading it very thinly and evenly, resulting in a smooth satisfying satin sheen. Although milky to begin with when applied, it's totally transparent when dry with no discolouration to the finish underneath. As for durability only time will tell, but reviews elsewhere seem optimistic. Another bonus was that the brush washed out easily and cleanly with just warm water and a dash of washing up liquid. Having discovered this product I will definitely continue using it on other projects. Admittedly it's not weatherproof for outdoor projects but eminently suitable for anything remaining indoors. I have no hesitation in awarding it five stars. As per my heading , a brilliant product.

Great product goes on well slight yellowing after use maybe because of chalk paint

I am so pleased with the finish I have from using this product. My table was band new and natural wood. I was worried about stains. This is the result of 2 coats. It was very easy to use. Now for the 6 chairs. There was no smell. Drying time 2 hours, although it did stay a little sticky the next day. This could have been me using a little too much.

This is a beautiful product. I used wax varnish to cover emulsion to stop it being scratched. So my kitchen cabinets have two coats and the wood used below the dado rail around the house. This means it can be wiped down from sticky little handprints too!

I love this stuff; it gives the finish I want for my vintage items; it’s so easy to use.

This stuff is great. I made myself a fish tank stand and painted it matt black. The finish looked great but was marking up easily so i ordered some of this. I got a shock when i opened it as i wasn't expecting a water based varnish (it's milky in colour). Anyway. i poured some in a tin and got started. This stuff goes on very easily and a little goes a very long way. The finish was first class after one but i decided to do another coat as it was so quick to apply and went a long way. The finished fish tank stand now looks superb. Cleaning equipment/brush is a doddle - just run it under the tap. Overall i highly recommend this varnish.

Very pleased with this varnish. We had our banisters and window ledges stripped in the hall/landing and i used this varnish on them. It has given a lovely sheen and durable finish. It wasn't smelly, although it is advised to ventilate the room. It is a bit cloudy when it is liquid, but clears when it dries. Didn't take long to dry. Hasn't darkened the wood much, but has made the wood beautiful.
