Description

EPIFANES RAPIDCLEAR is a fast-drying, satin gloss clear varnish based on urethane/alkyd resin with integrated UV filter. The varnish forms a transparent, amber-colored protective film that preserves the natural appearance of the wood grain. RAPIDCLEAR is suitable for interior and exterior applications above the waterline – especially for oily woods such as teak – and can also be used as a quick base coat before high-gloss systems like EPIFANES Yacht Varnish (Art.No. 2050-001) or Hardwood Varnish Oil (Art.No. 2051-050).

Application: The surface must be clean, dry, grease-free, and sanded (max. wood moisture: 15%). Application is done with a brush or spray gun at temperatures between 12 °C and 28 °C. No sanding is required between coats if recoated within 72 hours. For a high-gloss finish, EPIFANES YACHT VARNISH CLEAR can be applied to the sanded surface.
