Hot Lee Valley General Water-Based Exterior Varnish

This water-based 450 polyurethane finish is low in VOC (volatile organic compounds), so it poses less risk to health and makes for easier clean-up and disposal. It has a thick, smooth-flowing consistency that levels well and is readily brushed, drying in about 2 hours to a tough, durable coat.

For exterior applications, it produces a tough, water-resistant finish that is flexible enough to endure wood movement from changes in temperature and humidity. It contains a mildewcide to inhibit mold and mildew growth. Unlike oil-based finishes, this varnish deepens the tone without imparting an amber color to light surfaces.

It contains UV absorbers to prevent the cured film from breaking down in sunlight and to protect underlying stains from fading. Available in gloss, semi-gloss, and satin sheens and comes in quart containers (32 fl oz/946ml). Coverage is approximately 150 sq.ft./quart; minimum of three coats recommended.

Can also be sprayed by diluting by about 10%. Suitable for use over oil stains that have dried for at least 48 hours.

Made in USA.
