EpiFanes clear varnish for a deep gloss that lasts
This is a traditional marine varnish, and that’s the point. It’s built on tung oil, phenolic-modified alkyd resins, and a heavy dose of UV absorbers. That formula is what lets it keep its high-gloss finish out in the weather and sun where a lesser varnish would go dull.
It flows well, builds high, and holds up to water in any climate, including the tropics. Use it on interior and exterior wood above the waterline, on marine or household woods, and anywhere you want a deep, high-gloss finish. It also works for maintaining intact one and two-component varnish systems.
