WATER-BASED MARINE VARNISH FOR NAUTICAL UPHOLSTERY WITH ITS CATALYST

Benches, Sun Loungers, Captain's Chair, Cushions: For Efficient, Easy, and Quick Protection of Your Boat's Equipment!

SOFOLK marine varnish protects boat upholstery where it suffers most: sun, rain, sea spray, salt and rubbing. Water-based, it is catalysed at the time of use to form a very tough film. It contains UV protection and a little biocide, which delays the appearance of mould. It is our highest-performing marine varnish, above the aerosol version.

It protects new upholstery or upholstery in good condition, and maintains upholstery renovated with our marine paint, whose sheen it can also adjust.

Specifications

• Satin, matt or gloss finish, always with UV protection
• Water-based, supplied with its catalyst in a syringe
• Compatible with faux leather, leatherette, vinyl, PVC and leather, after a test
• Coverage: about 15 m² per litre per coat

Which upholstery is it for?

Benches, sunbeds, captain’s seat, cushions, cabin mattresses, padded panels.

What about water?

The varnish makes water bead up and limits its penetration, but it is not a waterproofing product. For extra protection against water, oil, detergents and UV, apply our waterproofing spray on top.

How to use

1. Clean the upholstery with the stain remover cleaner. No sanding or acetone: these are only needed when recolouring.
2. Test on a small area, before adding the catalyst: 1 or 2 thin coats. After 24 hours at 20 °C, the varnish must be touch-dry and adhere perfectly.
3. Catalyse at the last moment: 5% catalyst by weight at most, then mix thoroughly. Only catalyse the quantity you will apply within 4 hours (at 20 °C). Always wear gloves and safety glasses.
4. Apply in thin coats with a clean, slightly damp sponge, flattening any bubbles before they dry, or with a spray gun (0.8 to 1 mm nozzle). Work between 5 and 30 °C.
5. Let it dry between coats: dust-free in 2 hours, touch-dry in 3 hours, recoatable after at least 3 hours.

How many coats? Apply 3 or 4 coats before each season, especially on the most heavily used areas: the upholstery faces rain, sea spray, salt and rubbing. Clean tools with water.
