Sadolin Polyurethane Floor Varnish 5 litre Satin

A far better varnish than the usual polyurethane yacht varnish I have used previously. Sadolin varnish gives a great finish, has no fumes, dries quickly and brushes wash out in soapy water. For all interior wood varnishing, I shall only use this in future. Highly recommended.

Excellent quality , strong varnish used to restore an oak table . Well worth spending a bit more for a strong varnish that also gives a great finish

An easy product to deal with and a very pleasing result!. You can use a roller or brush and it self levels- just thin enough to paint with. It dries quickly. Runs are easy to deal with. Best to do multiple thin coats with light sanding in between. I'm super happy with the end result! A very predictable product that's easy to use and maintain. I am impressed and will continue to use.

The last time I used Sadolin it was nothing like this. It gave me such a surprise when I opened the tin and found this opaque WHITE stuff. I know Sadolin is good so soldiered on with it, treating two garden benches and the slats of two garden gates while we still had dry weather. It irritated me at first because this was rather like painting with milk. It left white film everywhere. Anyway I painted, then finished and went for a walk. When I got back, was pleased to notice any whiteness had disappeared and the varnishing looked good. But what this varnish doesn't do, is deepen the shade of the wood. That can be a very good thing if someone doesn't want any colour change. Or it can be a slightly disappointing thing if you are expecting that rich golden glow when painted on, as I always used to get with other polyurethane based varnishes. The wood you paint will stay more or less the exact shade it was before varnishing. One good thing -I could put on a second coat later that same day! It was also rather bizarre (I can never adapt to water based varnish so my bad!) -to have to wash out the brush in water. I have yet to test durability and weatherproofing after 2 coats. Time will tell, and a bit of winter weather but I generally have confidence in Sadolin products so I'm sure it will do well.

We had same work done in the house and we asked the joiner what would be the best varnish to complete the work he quoted “ this is the stuff I used when I did my own upgrade “. So we thought if it’s good enough for the professionals it is good for us. It was easily applied and the results where excellent. I used approx 2/3 of tin to complete the varnishing (3 coats).

Renovating our new home and changed all the doors, architraves, skirting, window sills to oak and used this to finish. It has given a really nice low sheen finish without changing the colour of the timber. It was easy to apply and dried quickly. We are very happy with the finished appearance. Amazon was the only place we could find the satin finish in 2.5l tins at a reasonable price.

It used to be some years ago that varnishes for wood were thick, smelly gloopy things with a typical high gloss finish – and were not especially effective. More recently, advanced products have appeared that offer more modern finishes like satin, are easy to use and produce wonderful results where the wood is protected preserved, and looks fabulous. This product from Sadolin is typical. My wife recently saved and saved so that she could replace the doors in our hallway. I thought that coating and sealing the bare doors was the least I could do and I chose this product. It was also delivered free with a very competitive price. Initially I used a slightly thinned matt coat of the same product and then built up at least three more layers using this with the satin finish. I applied a gentle sand between coats and also removed the door handles. The varnish is the perfect consistency and goes on very easily. Sometimes as the coats build it is difficult to see where one is up to but the gentle sanding and good light helps with this. Although there is some odour, this is fairly low key and not especially intrusive even in the house. Each coat dries quickly and although there were quite a few doors to coat, I found by the time I had finished the last, then the first was ready for another coat. I have a hobby of building hardwood plinths for my scale models. I used to spray these with clear lacquers but now I much prefer to use this varnish and a good quality brush and coat them by hand. Please see some pics attached of my efforts. One shows the finished oak doors and the other a new plinth under final coating. Highly recommended, and from now on it’s definitely my varnish of choice.

Quality varnish

I am very satisfied with this product. It dry quickly with very little smell (important for indoor use) and gives excellent results.
