Sadolin PV67 Heavy Duty Varnish | Clear

Description

Sadolin PV67 Heavy Duty Varnish is a 2 pack fast drying, acid-catalysed varnish for use on flooring and all other interior timber. The PV67 system comprises a satin or gloss varnish base with hardener. It is ideal for use on high traffic areas and work surfaces including bartops, providing excellent protection against spills, scratches and scuffing. *Slip resistant in clean and dry conditions only.

We recommend a test area before proceeding with full application. Timber surfaces must be suitably prepared, clean, sound and dry. The moisture content should not exceed 14% prior to coating. Use Sadolin Woodfiller to make good any minor surface defects. General or all-purpose fillers are not suitable. Resinous deposits should be removed. We recommend the use of non-ferrous screws, nails and fixings only.

Newly laid timber flooring must be allowed to settle and to adjust to the temperature and relative humidity of the room which will cause expansion and contraction. This can take several days. Once the floor has settle follow instructions as per New Timber below

New Timber

• Remove any remaining residues on the surfaces to be decorated.
• Machine-sand where applicable to make the surface smooth and remove irregularities.
• Finish with a fine grade abrasive paper and vacuum clean the surface thoroughly (do not leave dust in cracks).
• Treatments such as sanding may generate hazardous dust.
• Work in well ventilated areas.
• Use suitable (respiratory) protective equipment.
• Degrease the exposed bare timber surface by wiping with a clean, lint free cloth, moistened with methylated spirits frequently changing the face of the cloth.
• Allow to dry.
• If the wood requires staining apply only one coat of Sadolin Classic, which is low build and allow to dry for 3-5 days before the applying PV67 Heavy Duty Varnish.
• If using a stain other than Sadolin Classic we recommend a test area first to ensure compatibility.

Previously coated

• If floor is coated with anything other than PV67: Remove coating and proceed as ‘New Timber’.
• Remove by use of chemical strippers and/or sanding.
• Treatments such as sanding and burning off paint films may generate hazardous dust and/or fumes.
• Work in well ventilated areas.
• Use suitable (respiratory) protective equipment.
• As for bare timber flooring – If the floor is coated in only Sadolin PV67: Coatings in poor condition or where there is localised damage should be removed completely to remove the defective coating layer and proceed as “New Timber”.
• Remaining sound surfaces should be cleaned using warm water and a mild detergent and rinsed thoroughly with clean water.
• Allow to completely dry.
• Degrease surface by wiping with a clean, lint free cloth, moistened with methylated spirits frequently changing the face of the cloth.
• Allow to dry.
• Sand lightly in the direction of the grain using fine grade abrasive paper (P240 or finer) or fine grade nylon abrasive pad, remove dust. Do not break through the surface of the coating.
• Leave overnight for the surface to condition prior to over lacquering.
• Important note: If more than 48 hours are left between coats ensure you have referred to ‘Drying’ section for further preparatory instructions before recoating.

Prep of product

• Shake each individual container well before mixing, ensuring that caps/lids are secured tightly.
• Add 10 parts by volume of Varnish to 1 part by volume Hardener into an acid and solvent resistant container.
• As the hardener contains acid the container should be made of plastic, glass or an undamaged enamel vessel.
• Do not use metal.
• Stir the mixture thoroughly but carefully to avoid forming air bubbles in the mixture.
• Stir periodically during application.
• The mixture can be stored for up to 3 hours in a closed container at 20 degrees Celsius however we strongly recommend only mixing sufficient material for individual coats at any one time.
• An increase in temperature will reduce this time.
• Do not use after 3 hours.
• PV67 Heavy Duty Varnish is ready for use in its combined form and does not require thinning.
• Do not over or under dose hardener. The exact amount is very important.

Drying

If leaving/recoating after more than 48 hours it is essential to lightly abrade the surface to remove surface gloss and leave overnight for the surface to condition prior to over lacquering. Do not allow heavy traffic for at least eight hours after final application. Do not install furniture until 24 hours after final application and do not install rugs until one week after application.
