Dulux Trade Interior Quick Dry Varnish

For use over bare wood or previously stained and varnished surfaces, Dulux Trade Quick Dry Varnish is an interior varnish containing polyurethane, which makes it tough and durable. The quick drying properties mean the job can be completed in good time. Depending on the temperature and humidity levels, it's touch dry in half an hour.

• Recoatable in 2 hours
• Ideal for doors, architrave, skirting boards and furniture

For best results, make sure that the surfaces to be varnished are sound, clean and dry. It is particularly important that new surfaces are fully dry before treating with Dulux Trade Quick Dry Varnish. Clean off any wax polish, grease or finger marks with white spirit.

• Remove any defective or poorly adhering varnish.
• When applying to previously stained or varnished surfaces, rub down thoroughly along the grain of the wood to provide a ‘key’. Use ‘wet flatting’ methods where possible, then wipe off with a damp, lint free cloth.
• New or bare surfaces must also be rubbed down with a suitable grade of abrasive paper and dusted off (refer to your COSSH Assessment).

Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead.

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin. Stir thoroughly, it is recommended that a small test area is applied before treating the entire surface to ensure compatibility.

• Apply 2 or 3 coats of Dulux Trade Quick Dry Varnish with a brush or roller only. Do not spray.
• Lightly sand down with a fine grade abrasive paper, along the grain of the wood between coats of varnish. Then wipe off with a damp, lint free cloth. Avoid the inhalation of dust and wear a suitable face mask if dry sanding.
• Dulux Trade Quick Dry Varnish can be used over previously stained wood to vary the sheen level i.e. gloss/satin. Use direct from the can.
