Comments about Pettit Z-Spar Z Spar Flagship Varnish:
I have teak toe-rails and trim that I like to varnish, rather than oil. I've tried the AWLGRIP'system', other varnish like Epiphanes, Bristol Finish, CETOL, etc. I've found that that Z-Spar Flagship provides the best combo of ease of prep and application, cost, and and ease of repairing the coating once it breaks down.

Comments about Pettit Z-Spar Z Spar Flagship Varnish:
Bought Flagship varnish to refinish front doors on which my previous job, using a good varnish by another company, lasted only a year. Applied recommended four coats of Flagship over doors which I had stripped to bare wood and stained. Doors, which have all day southern exposure, look great. [...] I am very pleased.

Comments about Pettit Z-Spar Z Spar Flagship Varnish:
I use this excellent varnish on all brightwork on the boats I build and restore. It has excellent gloss and is easy to apply using the rolling and tipping method. I have had terrific results using disposable foam mini rollers for application and foam brushes for tipping. This makes cleanup very easy, and there is no possibility of contaminants being introduced into the next coat, as the brushes are new each time. The thickness of the varnish makes it easy to apply a nice glossy coat while not having to lay on so much that it drips. Building up multiple coats is quickly achieved and each one brings the beauty of the wood out even more.

Comments about Pettit Z-Spar Z Spar Flagship Varnish:
This product looks fantastic and enhances the appearance of a set of 100 year old church doors I am restoring. The only difficulty is the small air bubbles entrapped in the finish as it cures. Several different brushes and application techniques were used including spraying; all methods had air bubbles, some less, some more.

This product meant all of my expectations and more. I would recommend this product for any exterior application. After the first brush stroke I could tell this was a high quality product.

from New Orleans on 6/5/2008
Comments about Pettit Z-Spar Z Spar Flagship Varnish:
I applied this varnish at the maximum temperature of 90 degrees. It sprayed easily with a Wagner sprayer and like the information says began setting up very quickly with about 10-12% thinner added. It produced a very beautiful finish and had surprisingly few curtain sags. I was happy with this varnish.

from Brooklyn NY on 3/10/2008
Comments about Pettit Z-Spar Z Spar Flagship Varnish:
I put three finish coats on a new mahogany exterior door exposed to the worst sun and precip in Brooklyn NY, after scraping and sanding old finish off and staining with tung oil mahogany stain. The finished door was photographed for an article on restoration of old doors and its beauty still remains after 2 years.
