LE TONKINOIS Marine Varnish

Brilliant! Simple in use, has enough elasticity, repairs do not have to go down all the way to the wood, and it does a lot more salty water and UV sweats than the other things I've tested so far.

Really awesome! Simple on the application, has enough elasticity, does not need to be sanded off the bare wood every time you make repairs, and has a lot more salty salt water and UV light than the other things I've tested.

is a great stuff

I bought this paint on the recommendation of a motorcyclist. My insinuation was that, even in all weathers and even in winter, I drive a motorcycle to protect my old Russian Dnepr team from the salt orgies. The paint fulfills its task to the fullest satisfaction. The rims painted with a brush and the rest of the team with the paint sprayer. The fertility is very high and preparatory, except cleaning, not necessary.

Product details

LE TONKINOIS oil varnish is a high quality oil. For nearly 100 years, it has been pressed according to proven traditional methods, while being refined at high temperatures (270°C). Afterwards, one part pure China wood oil is added in. It forms an oil of high purity and quality.

LE TONKINOIS marine varnish is ideal for protecting exterior and interior wood. It preserves the natural, warm character of the material for an almost unlimited period of time, even under extreme climatic conditions. The biggest enemies of wood outdoors are evidently water and sunlight – which have no chance to damage the wood if it is treated with 3 to 4 layers of LE TONKINOIS. The product's fine linseed oil protects any wooden materials against discoloration and leaching, prevents cracking and preserves the bright, natural character of the material. Conserves value and offers protection without chemicals! Coverage: about 20 m²/liter.

In addition, a Gelomat matting agent is additionally available. Please mix it with the varnish: 10-50% matting agent, depending on the desired degree of matting.

LE TONKINOISE
Elegant parquet floors, valuable furniture, everything made out of wood gets long-term protection against UV-rays, temperature fluctuations and abrasions. LE TONKINOIS is purely natural. It will not generate any harmful vapours. Even degreased metals can benefit from the protective qualities of LE TONKINOIS.

great nail polish that I was familiar with

This varnish's reputation in the nautical world speaks for itself. As a shipwright, I've had the opportunity to use it often and have always achieved excellent results. I recently refinished the swim platform of my boat (now retired), and the result is just as impressive. I usually apply it with a spray gun, but given the limited space and the fact that it was done indoors, I varnished it with a small roller and a foam brush for the hard-to-reach interior areas. The result is more than acceptable, especially for an exterior swim platform. For added durability, I applied six coats (for long-lasting results). A product you can buy without hesitation.
