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.

Excellent product.

Bought this product to apply to new doors, found it was excellent to bring out the natural colour of the wood, and to protect it.

Fantastic Product

I brought this product last month to treat my oak veneer doors and the finish is superb. The doors now look amazing.

Rubbish varnish - to be avoided.

I've been a Ronseal enthusiast for many decades. But that was when Ronseal's products were oil-based and fit-for-purpose. The 'new and improved' water-based varnish just does not work. I used the Antique Pine Interior Varnish Diamond Hard and made a complete mess of my pine floor. It is nearly impossible to hide brush strokes so the floor is covered in blobs and lines. I suspect the varnish is designed to off really, really fast so it can be re-coated in 2 hours.Looks like I'll need to strip my floor all over again. I'll never touch Ronseal products again.

Does what it says on the tin

Used it to protect our newly sanded wood floors. Easy to apply and went further than I expected!

Awful stays tacky

I made a large fitted desk/workstation in my attic room. It is constructed of a pine frame with chipboard inserts. In the areas where I rest my arms and use a mouse, the varnish has become tacky, feels almost rubberised and items stick to the desk and shelves. Some items I have had to put felt pads over rubber feet to prevent them from sticking. I spent a great deal of effort with the construction and the last finishing part has turned out to be a disaster. I have been a keen DIY enthusiast for over 40 years and never come across a problem like this; looking online it seems that quite a few others are having the same issue. The reason for using this varnish was because it dried clear and is advertised as Diamond hard, I should have used oil based like I did with the previous desk I made 30years ago, which still has the original coat of varnish. I am thoroughly disappointed with Ronseal's response, although they did offer to refund me the price of one tin. I am now faced with having to take it all apart, sand it down and re-varnish with an oil based product. I'll never again use water based varnishes or paints. Check out video before purchasing.

Perfect finish

Used this varnish on all our oak wood, doors etc. The satin finish looks superb. Very easy to use, with the right preparation.

Very good , hard wearing

Hard wearing, looks nice and easy to apply. When used with discount was good value.

Smooth and easy

I bought this product about 2 months ago, it goes on smoothly and easily with a paint brush and leaves a tough, clear finish. I used two coats.
