Product details

Product information

This dark oak 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.

Not Dark at all

It’s not dark at all. Applied 3 coats and the colour is nothing like that shown on the tin or the sample in B&Q.

Blue / Grey in the tin and then dries to a slightly yellowish brown-not dark oak

It does not do exactly what it says on the tin!!!

I love the Ronseal strap line.... however I have to disagree.... Ronseal does not do exactly what it says on the tin and they do under perform. I recently bought a tin of internal wood varnish MATT finish, in fact I bought several tins costing me around £45. On using my third tin.... it turned out that it was gloss (hence, it did not do exactly what it says on the tin) and not matt. So on my almost finished stairs case, banister and spindles I had a random section of glossy wood. To rectify this I then had to go out and buy a clear MATT finish to put over the top costing me £17. Ronseal where kind enough to give me my £17 back for the clear matt varnish but not my money back for the faulty tin that I was accused of "not stirring correctly, hence the gloss finish"
