Questions & Answers about Epifanes Rubbed Effect Varnish:
I am in the process of restoring the interior/exterior of a 32 Endeavour sailboat and am using the Epifanes products on all of the teak surfaces.
Preparation is key to great results. Sand according to instructions, clean with a vacuum cleaner the use a tack rag dilligently to remove all traces of dust. Note: If you're too lazy to do a lot of sanding, then you won't get the results you desire. Thin the product with epifanes thinner (about 5 to 10%) then apply sparingly.
This product yields a finish that is beyond my expectations.... looks almost as good as a factory sprayed finish. Terrific product that I will use in future projects.

Comments about Epifanes Rubbed Effect Varnish:
Nothing to compare with the high gloss Epifanes spar varnish. This one is a lot too fast to dry for surfaces > 3 sqft. Cannot use the roll and foam brush method : it starts drying before you can use the foam brush to smooth out the bubbles. Disappointing for that price.

Comments about Epifanes Rubbed Effect Varnish:
Epifanes Clear Gloss is my varnish of choice but sometimes a satin finish is desired. Epifanes Rubbed Effect Varnish provides a harder final coat and a more uniform sheen then can easily be achieved by hand rubbing a gloss spar varnish. Unfortunately, Epifanes Rubbed Effect Varnish is not as easy to work with as the clear gloss. Being faster drying, I find it somewhat difficult to adjust to. It reduces problems with dust but it is more difficult to brush on and extra care has to be taken to avoid bubbles. Thinning helps but not appreciably. I have been tempted to add a bit of Penetrol to reduce brush drag but I am not sure what its effect would be on the final coat. Despite these difficulties, I am very pleased with the results of one coat of Epifanes Rubbed Effect Varnish thinned by roughly 5% over six coats of Epifanes Clear Gloss Varnish coated in indoor dry conditions at a temperature of about 65F.

Comments about Epifanes Rubbed Effect Varnish:
This is the best varnish I ever used, however, I did not apply it using a brush. I rebuilt nearly the entire interior of a Hunter 34...all new wood and cabin sole. I first used a clear penetrating epoxy sealer for the sole and did not wait for the full cure. At the suggestion of the CPES manufacturer, I applied Epiphane while the sealer was still tacky which draws the finish into the wood. Took two days to dry but after that, it when on beautifully. At the suggestion of a friend who restores old Chris Crafts, I used a foam brush. Yes, I thought he was off his rocker but the resulting finish was like it was professionaly sprayed on...furniture quality. Not one flaw and after 3 seasons, it still looks like the day I applied it and wearing like iron.
