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.

no time to evaluate the product but I really appreciated the "DEUTCH QUALITEE" of the site. I recommend and will renew my orders with them.

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.

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 use schooner for painting my dinghy, especially outdoors, and I'm very satisfied with it. It's highly resistant to UV radiation, has a very clean finish, and runs very smoothly, especially at temperatures above 6-8 degrees Celsius. It's excellent for horizontal surfaces.

Good paint, but you need a lot of time.
It's good and expensive, but it takes an incredibly long time to build up the entire layer. At best, you can do one coat per day, then wait a day before the next one. Then sand it. And that's with a total of eight coats, only to then wait weeks for the layer to harden.

Very good paint but....
I've been using schooners for years. Unfortunately, this is no longer available in a small container (375ml). Once opened, the lacquer forms a covering skin very quickly. Storage for a longer period of time is almost impossible, resp. no one has been able to tell me a trick that actually works.
