What it does

The clear wood lacquer provides a hard-wearing finish without the harsh chemicals of conventional varnishes. It gives a transparent finish with a slight honey tone.

Why we love it

It is easy to use and provides a hard-wearing film. It is certified as safe for toys (DIN EN 71 Part 3) and saliva and sweat proof (DIN 53160). It is made from natural occurring materials and minerals.

It is made from entirely natural ingredients, the product can be composted and thus returning to the natural lifecycle of materials

How it works

The varnish creates a thin transparent layer on top of the surface so protects the wood from the outside. At least 2 thin coats are generally recommended. The product has a milky appearance, but it dries into a clear and transparent film.

It will be dust dry after 10 hours and it can be recoated after 24 hours, plenty of ventilation should be allowed during the drying period as high humidity, low temperatures, excessive application volumes and insufficient air supply will slow down drying rates. Final hardness is achieved after 4 weeks.

The product can be thinned with a maximum of 20% water if necessary

Hint and tips

This will give a beautiful medium shine finish which is very hard wearing and meets the top standard in abrasion (class 1). If looking for a varnish that is more shiny the Auro Clear Varnish 251 is the perfect choice and for floors the Auro Floor Varnish 267 is recommended.

Before applying this product, test the base for suitability by applying a sample coat.
