Smooth, quick finish — but dries faster than you expect!
I used this varnish on a small oak table and was really pleased with the even, satin sheen it gave. It brought the wood grain to life without being overly glossy. The quick-dry formula is a huge time saver, but you do have to work fast , it can start to tack up before you’ve finished larger areas. I’d recommend applying in thin, even coats with a good quality brush. Slight smell during use but nothing too strong. A solid, professional-looking finish once dry.

Great product. Lasts a long time and looks beautiful.
I recently used this varnish on our wooden dining table and I’m really impressed with the results. After sanding the table down, I applied two coats and the finish looks amazing. The clear colour gives great clarity, enhancing the natural beauty of the wood without altering its tone. The varnish provides excellent stain resistance — spills wipe away easily and the surface stays looking fresh. It seals the wood beautifully, giving it a smooth, durable finish that feels high quality. There’s still plenty left in the tin, so I’d definitely say it’s great value for money. Overall, I’m very happy with the quality, clarity, and sealability of this varnish, and I’d highly recommend it for anyone looking to refresh and protect wooden furniture.

Does what it says on the tin! (Pun intended)
Really well packaged, great for a clear varnish on our wooden doors with no colouring once dry! Applied well, nice and thin coats and not a strong potent smell. Definitely worth the money for same day delivery!

Tiny tin but does the job very well
Very small tin but really does the job well. I used this on a few tables to give them some extra protection. It really brought out the colour underneath and to be honest, I only needed to use a small amount on these tables (I used it on a nest of tables) I used about 3 coats it does indeed dry very quickly and the extra coats where to give it an extra shine, there was still plenty left in the tin so I will say it was decent value for money. The tables have been in regular use now for a few weeks and not seen any damage or chipping and the use has been pretty heavy use so I would say its pretty durable too.

Excellent Product!
Excellent Product. In the words of another manufacturer, it simply "does what it says on the tin!". It applies easily, with sufficient viscosity to adhere to the brush but with enough fluidity to penetrate all cracks and joints in wooden structures. It then dries quickly leave to a lovely satin finish. Obviously too early to comment on longevity - bought last night and applied this morning (thank you Prime) - but this has the attributes of a high quality product.

Good but...
The finish can be quite good, but only if you work quickly and consistently with your brush strokes....it dries extremely fast, almost as your painting it on! Also, try and use it all in one go, because if you leave it a week or so, the lid sets as if it's been superglued to the tin!

I really rate Rustins Varnish & this satin finish clear quick dry is exactly all of that! I noticed so many complaints within Reviews of the lids of the product being off or loose upon delivery with horrible leakage stories added on & they’ve obviously taken these Reviews on board & have done something about this (pictured) & its so simple and so effective, it’s just the 3 clips in the pic that hold the lid on tight but are extremely easy to remove from the side with a bread knife or a screwdriver. Rustins Varnish it’s top quality & a little tub goes a long way with excellent results every time.

I used both the Satin and Gloss versions on raw pine stained with a water based stain and there is only minimal difference in the glossiness of each after three coats This stuff is very easy to use, gives a good finish and doesn’t smell too strong. Good value too. Will use again. A 500ml pot is enough to do one side of a pine door and frame with three coats with a decent bit left over. Easy to wipe up any drips and also easy to clean brushes in water. I bought a brush marketed specifically as a varnish brush and I think that helped with application. I have now had 9 uses and cleans out of one brush with this stuff and it is still fine. Caution that it can ‘lift’ and move water based stains even if they’ve been left for weeks to dry so makes sure you go with the grain and with care for the first coat if that’s your use case.

My third purchase of this product. Need I say more? Maybe next time I should just go for the larger size?!

Utilisation du vernis INCOLORE sur bois de hêtre neuf et poncé au grain 180. Ponçage "caresse" entre les couches J'ai vernis les portes en hêtre neuf d'un meuble et les façades des tiroirs. Ce n'est pas la première fois que j'utilise du vernis, c'est un produit plus capricieux que la peinture! Là, j'ai particulièrement apprécié: 1---La texture légèrement crémeuse du vernis qui atténue les risques de gouttes intempestives. 2---La couleur blanchâtre à la pose qui permet de voir tout de suite d'éventuelles surcharges. 3---Le séchage rapide qui m'a permis de faire les deux faces en un seule journée et les trois couches en 3 journées. 4---La quasi absence d'odeur, et le rendement. 5---Le fini légèrement satiné qui accroche la lumière sans briller et qui ne laisse pas de trace de pinceau. Nous avons trouvé le résultat magnifique et recommandons vivement ce vernis!
