...varnish is indeed low odour, compared to many similar products; I didn't feel the need to immediately open every window and door in the house. Although it s a milky colour when first opened, this goes on the surface clear. When I very first used it to varnish a floor, I believe I put too much of the product on the floor, and ended up with a couple of milky "bubbles". Because it does go on clear, don't give in to the temptation to apply too much. ...

Review of Ronseal Varnish-Quick Drying

A little bit of oil.

Advantages: Great product to protect wood
Disadvantages: Bit runny-careful when applying

With the banisters and stairs newly stripped, it was time to decide what to do with the new banister and internal doors. We wanted them to blend with the existing stairs, which are over 100 years old, but didn't want to use a traditional stain. So, having looked around the d.i.y. store and on the website, I decided on this product. THE PACKAGING This comes in a 500ml tin with a screw off top and all the instructions, warnings, directions for use ...
...antique pine varnish which I decided would nicely tone in with the existing woodwork. Open the bottle and the product is a mid brown colour with a very oily(!) smell. The liquid is quite runny so before I even started using it, I thanked my lucky stars that there were no carpets on thye floor, because I could see what was going to happen...lots of brown stains! THE PROMISE This product promises to: *enhance and protect your wood over time *give ...

Review of Ronseal Hardglaze Varnish-Interior

'Shiver Me Timbers!'

Advantages: High gloss & durable finish. Price.
Disadvantages: Drying time, perhaps.

Let me make it perfectly clear from the outset, that as much as a girl can dream, I do not, nor am I ever likely to, possess a yacht. Sigh… Due to the name of this particular varnish, I nearly passed it by without any further consideration. I was in search of an exterior varnish, but why? After much persuading and moaning, on my part, my hubby finally bowed to pressure and bought me the garden bench, I’d seen, whilst in QD, priced at £14.99. I ...
...the self-assembly that dissuaded him, so much as the fact that it was made of un-treated wood. What with the ‘Formula One’ season in full swing, he envisaged himself having to be the poor ‘bod’ who would end up having to varnish it, thus missing one of his precious Grand Prix’s. Plus he questioned the ‘bargain’ aspect, once the price of the varnish had been added? Having assured him, that I would undertake the ‘finishing’ and prove him wrong about ...
