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.

Ron seal Varnish

Previously used Ronseal Varnish and it is a brand I trust and as always it gave good coverage and was easy to use.

Terrible product. Nowhere near dark oak

Bought this to make some wood match our other dark oak furniture but this is very grey in colour. Looks like they got the colour mix wrong but this won’t give any form of oak no matter how many coats.

Not as expected

As other reviews say, this has a very green hue to it but more annoyingly, it isn't dark at all. The stain is incredily light, even after many coats. I also bought the matte version which sadly isn't particularly matte. dissapointing product

Listen to the reviews, it turns out yellow !

We made the mistake of buying in store so hadn't read the reviews. It is as yellow as everyone says. It appeared green in the tin, but with oak being a colder brown I thought nothing of it. Yet after 3 coats it is still yellow. If you want one that works the Dulex wood sheen church oak is exactly what we'd wanted. It's a stain and varnish and one, came out beautifully and is cheaper. We found it at the range

Good

Bought this for small wall panelling project. It is true to colour nice to work with goes further then you think makes wood look expensive. Have had lots of compliments.

Hopeless, unless you want green

As other reviewers have said this product is near useless. It's green out of the tin, and it retains a green hue when dry. And the is colour isn't anything like it says on the tin, even after multiple coats. Very expensive for what it is too. Honestly, don't bother

Colour not as expected

Applied 3 coats to my scaffold board table with over an hour between each coat... very yellow/green looking. Will have to start from scratch.

JD123654 - 1 / 5 - 07/02/2021

Not the colour described - yellow / green on pine.

Disappointed - will have to sand off and start again!
