Product Details
Epifanes Wood Finish Matte Varnish is a one-component varnish alternative based on urethane alkyd resins and tung oil. To help protect the wood without minimizing vibrancy, this matte finish is typically applied over four coats of Epifanes Gloss Wood Finish. Suitable for both interior and exterior woods, this low gloss, matte finish varnish contains UV absorbers to provide long lasting, beautiful rich protection.
This varnish features a non-sanding solution specially formulated for oily woods like teak. The clear amber color combined with the matte finish leaves the wood looking like it was hand-rubbed. Easy to apply with brush, roller, airless spray, or conventional spray.
Available in 500ml and 1000ml sizes.

Temperature should be between 50 degrees F and 85 degrees F with the air humidity below 85 percent. Avoid varnishing in too much wind or sun. A rapid loss of solvents will occur under these conditions and will decrease the flowing ability. Add thinners up to the specified percentage to compensate for the faster release of solvents. Any existing finish much be intact, degreased and sanded prior to recoating. Before applying each coat, degrease the surface with Epifanes Spray Thinner or Denatured alcohol. Use a tack cloth to remove dust particles prior to application. Always stir Epifanes Wood Finish Matte before using. Failure to do so may result in an uneven or blotchy finish. Some settling of the formulation may occur upon long standing.

Only thing is I wish the advertising would CLEARLY state what size the can holds like 1 quart or half pint. Us old timers still use those measurements.

Outstanding Product!

I have been using this product for the last three years for all my finishing projects and the results are consistently wonderful! The finish performance is great! I did a whole kitchen remodel with white oak cabinets that came out beautiful! Way better than any factory finish could ever be.

Better than Amazon

I've ordered both from Jamestown and Amazon. They were similarly priced. Delivery was quicker and more accurate with Jamestown and the product was in better condition with no bent cans like with Amazon. I have ordered multiple times with Jamestown and am satisfied.

Great Product

The color, sheen, and ease of application were great for a couple of outdoor projects I completed recently. As I'm writing this, I only have a first coat on a Mahogany entry door and a planter. I've completed a cedar glider though.

I have written before about how impressed I was on their quick service. But then they promised delivery on Monday and it came on the following Friday. So you have to adjust your expectation.

I wanted a SATIN finish
3 years ago
I wanted a satin finish, which is not made, so I did the following. I put on 6 coats of gloss as instructed. The last 2 coats I used a mixture of 10% gloss in a 1000ml can of matte as follows. I measured 100 ml of gloss and added it to a NEW 1000ml can of matte (yes it will fit). and used 2 coats of this mixture for a PERFECT satin finish.

My Go-to spar varnish!
4 years ago
Produces a strong, durable finish when applied properly. Multiple coats are required for durability --I typically use 8-10, with 2-3 fresh coats per year.

Q: I want to know if your matte finish is compatible with the Pettit 1015 Captains Varnish. I have 4 coats on the deck of Bill Thomas's Fox canoe I'm building and want to finish with your matte finish product.

A: They should work together, however, as always with different brands it's best to do a test before applying.

Q: I have a painted wood table and chairs. I want to create a satin finish. Can I first apply several coats of high gloss over the table and chairs followed by one or two coats of a mixture of high gloss and matte finish to get a final satin coat?
2 years ago2 Answers
A: Make sure that the existing paint that you're applying varnish to is oil based. If it's latex, the varnish will not bond properly.

Q: I have recently refinished a cedar garage door first with gel stain and then 3 coats of a high quality satin varnish. I have used this particular brand several times and have been happy with the product although their satin is more like a gloss in other brands. Unfortunately the client was not happy with the sheen. Can I use your product over another brand to reduce the sheen.?
2 years ago4 Answers
A: Yes. Low luster and easy to apply. However, you will have to apply a yearly topcoat to preserve the finish. I use on boat's teak, and even with the best prep, yearly maintenance is required.

Q: Will epifanes wood finish matte applied to basswood work? I'm making a sign that will exposed to the weather elements (4 seasons)
2 years ago4 Answers
A: Regardless of which finish you choose, UV will gradually break down the outermost layer. When left unchecked water will work its way in causing the varnish to flake. To preserve the base coat it’s necessary to do a regular maintenance coat. Depending on how much exposure to moisture and sunlight, once or twice a year may be necessary on exterior finishes, while interior finishes will last much longer. A little light sanding with 320 grit sandpaper and a single coat is much easier than letting it go and then repairing damaged finish later.

Q: I am needing to re stain our horse stalls. And epifanes was recommended. Will I need to sand all of them down? Is there a product that can instead for put on top of original stain?
3 years ago3 Answers
A: Yes there are products from ""General Finish"" that are durable and water based. Epifanes oil based products are excellent but not good for occupied closed areas. The oil based fumes can be dangerous, overwhelming and lingering. General Finish has stains and polyurethanes that are water based. You can mix 10 % water based stain into water based polyurethane and end up with an original stain/poly finish. G F has many stains to match your original finish. The water based products can be coated three(3) times in one day @ proper humidity levels. I finish exterior doors and have used this method, many times in occupied houses. Jim

Q: I would like to apply this finish to a mahogany. Will this darken the wood? I want to apply a finish that will not darken the wood. Thanks
3 years ago3 Answers
A: ALL finishes WILL darken any woods. Start with a sample piece of the wood you are going to use. You will see when applying the varnish, that it brings the wood back to life. If you are finishing a expensive entry door, lay it flat on the ground and finish it that way, no runs , no drips and no errors. If you are looking for lightness in the woods, you should have bought Maple. Remember , take it slow, there is no rush in life, when Jesus is in charge, life is sweeter.

Q: I have a worn 12 year old main cabin interior floor. Can I apply this after sanding? Will it work without sanding down to wood?
3 years ago4 Answers
A: You will first have to remove all of the varnish then sand the wood. If the floorboards are easily removed, You can take them off the boat and easily remove the old varnish with Total Strip. Then sand the wood with 220 grit and apply the wood finish. For a more durable coating you could first apply build coats of Epifanes CV varnish, then finish with the wood finish matte to take the gloss down.

Q: We will be refinishing our hardwood floors with this product and would like to know how much square foot it covers per coat?
6 years ago1 Answer
A: It is going to depend on how it is applied. Most gallons of paint cover app. 800 square feet with a roller. That being said you might check with the manufacturer. Also might want to make sure that the wearability on a floor with the matte finish will hold up. It might require a gloss finish first and then a matte. I only use it on doors and it is applied with a spray unit. Good luck.
