Description

A traditional clear varnish that is very elastic, penetrating and does not flake. Traditionally produced by gentle boiling of linseed and tung oil. In contrast to synthetic resin varnishes, RYLARD VG63 dries very slowly, which gives it the elasticity and durability required for solid wood boats. The varnish is particularly suitable for use on wood in the boating sector or in other heavily used environments.

Application: On dry, clean wood, first apply two coats of RYLARD IMPREGNANTE (Art. No. 6080-701) to saturate the wood; alternatively, VG 63 diluted with turpentine substitute (mixing ratio 1:1) is also suitable.

Depending on the absorbency of the wood, then apply five to six coats of VG 63 - each coat thinly and 24 hours apart. The first coat should be thinned to 30-40%, then gradually reduce the thinning. Apply the last two coats undiluted. Intermediate sanding with fine sandpaper is recommended. For painted surfaces in good condition, the surface should be thoroughly sanded, cleaned and degreased before applying two coats of VG 63. Do not apply in damp weather, below 15 °C or on wet wood.
