Stain & Varnish
Bondall Monocel Stain and Varnish is a combined timber stain and varnish for use on most woodwork, timber furniture, and timber panelling. For extra protection on furniture and woodwork, overcoat with Monocel Clear Timber Varnish or Monocel Gold for a marine grade finish.

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.
The first application is a sealer coat. Thin some of the varnish with 10-15% clean mineral turps and apply as above. 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 maximum 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.
