Gold Stain & Varnish
A superior, easy to use marine grade gloss timber finish combining a stain and varnish for the ultimate protection of your timber surfaces in Australia’s harsh environment. It provides maximum exterior durability and colour retention utilising advanced nanoZTM technology.
Monocel Gold Stain and Varnish has a gloss finish, and provides the highest level of protection for both interior and exterior woodwork, furniture, paneling and timber projects.
Preparation
Carefully clean and prepare all surfaces, fine sanding and rounding off sharp edges as necessary.
Remove all previous paint, varnish, shellac or lacquer and wipe the surface clean of dust. Stir often during application to ensure an even coat.
Application
Stir well for 5 minutes and then apply with a soft paintbrush, applicator pad, roller or suitable spray.
Thin the first coat down with 10-15% clean mineral turps as this is the sealer coat. Leave this coat to dry for 4 hours, fill any imperfections and then leave to dry fully for 24 hours before applying further coats.
Drying
Allow 24 hours drying time between each coat.
3-4 coats are needed for excellent protection, however you can use Monocel Clear Timber Varnish for the final coats if you’re happy with the stained colour before the minimum coats are achieved.
A light sanding between coats is recommended with 240-grit sandpaper. Remove any dust before recoating.
