Clear Varnish Satin

To get the best results, ensure surfaces to be varnished are sound, clean and dry. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead.

Remove all loose and defective coatings (e.g. varnishes and woodstains). Paint should be stripped back to bare wood.
Thoroughly rub down all new, bare and previously stained or varnished surfaces that are in good condition along the grain of the wood to provide a key.
Remove dust with a damp, lint free cloth. New or bare wood should be sealed with a coat of Dulux Clear Varnish Gloss, thinned with 1 part white spirit to 10 parts varnish, even when finishing with matt or satin finish.

Cleaning After Final Use- Cleaning your brushes and rollers immediately after their final use ensures they can be reused for multiple projects, saving you money and reducing waste. ​ Cleaning-​ 1. Remove Excess Paint- Scrape off excess paint into container for future projects.​ 2. Use Paint Thinner-- Use a paint thinner to clean brushes and rollers.​ 3. Reuse Paint Thinner- Allow the paint solids to settle and reuse the thinner by pouring the clear liquid into another container.​ Responsible Disposal- Dispose of the remaining solids and used thinner at a hazardous waste facility. Do not pour any solvent-based paint, paint thinner or wash water down the drain or onto the ground.​ Do not flush paint down the drain, including when cleaning painting tools

1. Reuse, Recycle, or Donate- Whenever possible reuse, recycle, or donate leftover paint. Find local services at mywaste.ie or consider advertising the paint locally. Many good causes often need paint, and a little can go a long way in brightening up community spaces!​ 2. Dispose Responsibly- Never pour paint or wastewater down drains or sinks. Dispose of them responsibly. Follow the instructions at mywaste.ie to recycle empty packs ​ 3. Reuse Roller Cages- Roller cages can be reused. Simply remove the sleeve and store the cage in a dry, dust-free place.​ 4. Dispose of Unusable Brushes and Sleeves- If your brush or roller sleeve cannot be cleaned or reused, place it in your general waste bin. While recycling is important, bristles or roller sleeves with paint can cause issues at recycling facilities, so it's best to dispose of them correctly.​
