Description

"TONKI" - the classic! Glossy, clear varnish oil for wood and metal. The formulation of LE TONKINOIS varnish oil is based on a special formula in which high-quality linseed oil and Chinese wood oil (tung oil) are cooked together. This creates a natural product without chemical additives. The varnish oil is suitable for indoor and outdoor use as well as for application under extreme weather conditions. It forms a resistant, elastic protective film with high UV resistance and highlights the natural grain of the wood.

Application: LE TONKINOIS VARNISH is applied to untreated or cleanly sanded wood. Application is done with a brush or roller; for spray application, it can be diluted up to max. 10% with the appropriate LE TONKINOIS thinner. Only one thin coat should be applied per day. Stir well before use, do not apply below 12 °C.
