This product is ideal for use on railings, fences, patio furniture, house and trim. It is NOT recommended for decks or high traffic areas, siding, or rough-sawn surfaces.

Review: Very nice and easy. - Very good product. One application is not adequate. After each application, sand the wood nicely. The wood gaps and cracks needs to be filled up. The final coat, may be third or if possible the 4th coat needs to be thinned out with turpentine oil and a thin layer needs to be applied with a brush in one direction. It lends a nice look to the final wood finish.
Review: Husband loves this! - My husband make’s Adirondack chairs and uses this for his second coat before spar varnishing! He says he won’t use anything else because of the great results.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this bes used indoors?**
A: I see no reason why you could not use this Varathane for indoor use. It's a good product. It provides added protection from UV rays, which makes it a good product for outdoor use, and it should be an excellent product for indoor use. Since it's oil-based it has a strong odor, so if possible use it outdoor or with good ventilation. Do not shake the can. That produces small air bubbles, which you don't want. Stir the can with a small stick, and use a good natural bristle brush, or a brush for both Oil-based and water-based products. Good luck....

**Q: Can I use this over a water based urethane?**
A: Assuming the water based urethane is completely dried, you should be okay to go over it w/ an oil based urethane. Once the carrier (water) evaporates, the urethane is pretty much the same as any urethane. The reverse, however, is not true: you can't put a water based urethane over an oil based urethane.

**Q: Puedo usar este producto en muebles de interior**
A: Si.

**Q: Can this be applied to galvanized metal sheets?**
A: I believe that it could because it is so thick & viscous.  Will need 2 or 3 coats.  To thicken it further, I spread a very light layer of sand on the middle coat of an old wood crate, and it worked spectacularly.
