Product details

Product information

This clear interior varnish from the Ronseal Interior diamond hard range can be applied to interior using a brush. The varnish dries in just 20 minutes and will cover up to 24 m² per litre on average.

  • Gives great protection against knocks, scuffs and scratches
  • Surface Preparation - Ensure the room is warm and ventilated. To prepare the wood for varnishing, give the surface a wipe down with a cloth and white spirit to remove wax, grease, dirt and oil. Use 120 grit sandpaper to give the surface a quick sand and smooth out any rough patches. If the wood has an old coating on it, sand away the peeling, loose and flaking bits so the surface is even. Let the dust settle and wipe it away with a damp cloth. Leave the wood to dry thoroughly before varnishing.
  • Instructions for Use - Give your varnish a stir, and test the colour on a hidden patch to make sure you’re happy with it. It may darken your wood slightly but it should bring out its natural colour. If you’re happy with how it looks, apply an even layer of the varnish painting in the direction of the woodgrain. Wait one hour for the coat to dry. You will need two to three coats for complete coverage and protection. Before you apply your final coat (whether that’s the second or third), sand down the surface and wipe the dust off with a cloth. This will help your final coat stick smoothly and will give you a perfect finish.

Dried white, not clear

Used this product on stair banister to give a hard wearing finish. I had rubbed the banisters down to bare wood and used 5 coats of wood stain to get a great finish. The varnish was white in the tin, but I thought it would dry to a clear finish. It didn’t, and so I am back to rubbing down and starting from scratch. I was told at B&Q that the reason was because the stain had been oil based. I have to rate it as a zero because it didn’t work for me.

Kitchen cupboards

I painted my kitchen cupboards earlier in the year but they were getting chipped. Repainted the cupboards and then added 2 Coates of the Matt varnish. Problem solved and easy to do.

YID varnish

As I refuse point blank to involve myself in any aspects of DIY by adhering to DDIY..(Don't Do It Yourself) my life has improved no end ..my particular skill set, acquired over a long career makes me a nightmare for people like you (DIY fans)... My wife does it... She liked the varnish....ta.

rubbish product

Hello everyone don't buy this product it's not good at all ..

Great product if applied correctly.

Great varnish if applied correctly. Very quick drying so must be applied rapidly and laid off with the brush along the grain of the wood before it dries! If applied too slowly, unsightly brush marks will be left. Just finished varnishing 11 new light oak doors - beautiful finish, very pleased.

Awful to use!

I bought this to varnish my spindles on my stairs. I shook the tin well prior to opening, when I opened the tin I was surprised to see that the varnish was WHITE! I started to use it and was relieved that as I used it it dried clear but after about 20mins the varnish in the tin started to turn a bit thicker so it was like painting with pva glue! Only good points about this varnish is that it actually dries completely clear and dries very quickly.

this product is rubbish

If you happen to go over a section of wood you coated 10 minutes ago it leaves white streaks you then have to sand it down again
