INTERNATIONAL SCHOONER One-Component Clear Varnish

Good workmanship and beautiful shine. Elegant dark coloring.

by Steffen E.

It's always fun to work with; in my opinion, it's the best clear varnish you can buy. Easy to use and produces excellent results. The only minor drawback is that a skin forms on the surface of the remaining contents of opened cans (despite careful sealing)—so use it up as quickly as possible.

I have been working with Schonner on my wooden jumper for many years and I am still very satisfied with the product. \ R \ nSVB was the cheapest and delivered quickly.

Top paint

Very easy to apply, stays on well. Smooths out. It just smells a bit... very strong and for a very long time.

My paint for outdoor use

I use the varnish to coat mahogany plywood outdoors, usually with one or two coats of epoxy as a primer (West System 207). Together with 7 or more coats of varnish, it produces a wonderful surface with a warm, slightly honey-colored tone. It then shines like bacon rind.
The varnish is excellent to work with.
