Varnish is also its own primer and undercoat, although in some cases it is better to thin the first coat with roughly 10% white spirit (for solvent varnishes) and water for water-based varnishes. This is particularly true if you are using a polyurethane varnish. In most cases it is also better to apply this with a lint free cloth and you are able to rub the varnish into the wood grain better than you could do with a brush.It can also make cleanup more accessible after spills or stains. Many brands of heat-resistant varnish are on the market, so it’s essential to do your research before choosing one. You’ll want to consider durability, ease of application, and price.

Varnish is a popular finish for wood coasters. It provides a durable, protective coating to help extend your coasters’ life. Varnish is available in both water-based and oil-based formulas. Epoxy Phenolic:A unique type of epoxy, these coatings cure best at degrees of 350-400 Fahrenheit. Heat resistant epoxy phenolic coatings are known to provide strong adhesion, temperature resistance, and chemical resistance. These paints work best if heat cured rather than air dried. With this coating, increasing the phenolic levels increases the chemical resistance, but decreases the flexibility.

You will always apply the stain before applying the varnish, unless the varnish already has the stain mixed into it. Allow sufficient time for the solvent to fully evaporate before applying the finishing coat of say, varnish. If it is wet or cold we suggest that you leave another 24 hours over the manufacturers’ recommended drying time to be 100% safe. Make sure that the stain is thoroughly mixed before you start to apply it so that you get an even colour throughout. Applying a Stain It is good practice to key the surface while wet using waterproof abrasive paper or pads if the surface is new or you are applying a water-based finish on top of solvent-based or glossy paint, or on a very hard and impermeable surface.
