Technical Overview
Copal Varnish is a film-forming varnish built on natural copal resins. Unlike a penetrating oil, it sits on the surface and cures to a hard, glossy layer that shields the wood from scratches, spills and surface wear — ideal for furniture and high-traffic interior wood, and for exterior wood over a suitable primer. Choose the varnish for a glossy, protective film; choose Premium Wood Oil for a penetrating, natural-look finish.

Technical Guidance
Sand the wood smooth and remove dust; sand back any flaking old varnish before recoating. Apply thin, even coats along the grain, allowing each to dry, and lightly sand between coats for the smoothest finish. On exterior wood, use an appropriate primer first. See the TDS for coverage and recoat times.
