Ronseal Diamond hard Clear Satin Wood varnish, 250ml
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.

A perfect finish
The varnish worked perfectly on our stair handrails. It can be applied very easily and essentially no mess at all. It gave a good natural look and protected the natural color of the rail. Our friends were all amazed seeing such a perfect renovation.

Useless on a kitchen table
I am adding to the very low reviews for this varnish. Interestingly, I see better B&Q ratings for the 75ml of the same stuff – which was the amount in my tin, so I’ll be adding the same review there! I bought this in summer 2021, just reviewing now. It was to re-varnish kitchen cupboards and table. The table was previously done by me with solvent-based Ronseal about 15 years earlier. I sanded the old varnish and applied four coats (for toughness) over the course of two days and waited three further days for it to dry. It never seemed to properly harden, and even weeks later, items were sticking, pulling off the varnish or making it blister. I contacted Ronseal who blamed me for: (1) using wire wool to sand it between coats (nonsense – while this might cause rusting problems with water-based varnish if not properly removed, rust wasn’t the issue); (2) applying too many coats (seems highly unlikely, since it was allowed to dry in-between); and for putting items on the table which reacted to the varnish (so what would that be – cutlery and crockery?). They refunded a replacement tin of solvent-based varnish – which is, sadly, now quite hard to get hold of. I then found the water-based stuff couldn’t be sanded off because it just rolled up into little balls. I finally got it off with a heat-gun and replaced it with the solvent-based version, since when there have been absolutely no problems. I’ve just left the solvent-based on the cupboard doors, because they obviously don’t get items put on them.

First impressions are good but...
Sadly I chose this for all my oak veneer internal doors. Initially they looked good but with use the varnish has failed. In rooms such as cloakrooms, shower rooms etc the odd bit of splashing has penetrated the varnish leaving us with watermarks on the wood likewise there are greasy hand marks around the door handles which have penetrated the varnish and soaked into the wood. I will be using a solvent based product next time for greater durability.

still tacky after 6 weeks
I bought this to revarnish a table mainly because the description said "Diamond Hard". Sanded table down to base wood, cleaned "twice" with white spirit and left to dry overnight. Applied 3 coats varnish, 24 hours between coats with a light rubdown with fine sandpaper, and 6 weeks later its still tacky. Rubbish, now looking to strip it back and use proper varnish.

Good and Bad points
Good: does not darken the wood Bad: leaves brush marks, probably because it dries so quickly.

terrible
Its been on a table for 4 weeks and has become tacky and is coming off in places.

Good product
Whilst I do understand the negative comments made by others I have a different opinion. I have used this varnish for a number of projects. Including some old Ercol tables. If applied very thinly, thus avoiding the white blobs, and very quickly it does produce a good, hard finish. It is not an equivalent product to spirit varnish. It is applied differently and does not improve the patina of the wood but it is good for some projects.
