Epifanes Wood Finish Gloss Varnish

£30.00£48.00

Epifanes wood finish varnish is our preferred spar varnish. It does not require sanding between coats which saves significant time when applying the required number of coats.

Epifanes Wood Finish Gloss, is the ultimate varnish alternative to use without sanding between coats. It is based on phenolic-modified resins and tung oil with microscopic porosity (microporous) properties which allow the timber to breathe.

Wood Finish Properties

Specifically formulated for oily woods like teak and iroco, Wood Finish Gloss has an ultra high gloss finish which is identical in appearance to Epifanes High Gloss Clear Varnish. Its colour is clear amber. One of its outstanding characteristics is its ability to build up coats quickly without sanding. No sanding is required if re-coating within 72 hours. This means you save significant time and effort while varnishing. Epifanes Wood Finish Gloss has excellent flow, gloss and durability and offers great flexibility and water resistance in all weather conditions. So, when its a deep high gloss finish with excellent U.V. protection and no sanding in between coats that you are looking for, Wood Finish Gloss is the perfect choice. Opaque in the can and dries clear amber with an ultra high gloss. For long lasting protection of all marine or household woods, interior and exterior wood above the waterline.

Wood Finish Durability

The photograph below shows a properly maintained exterior varnish finish using Epifanes wood finish gloss. We took this photograph in 2025, six years after initial varnishing.

This finish will last in excess of 20 years with correct maintenance. You can see how to achieve this in our how to varnish properly article.

Priming Before Varnishing

We advise that Smiths CPES is used as a primer and not thinned varnish. It is a far better primer, and can offer a varnish finish that will last in excess of 20 years with correct maintenance. This is probably as important as building up the correct dry film thickness and the ong term maintenance of the varnish to ensure durability. We sell Epifanes and CPES bundled together as a kit with both items discounted. Remember – to make varnish last:

  • Prime properly
  • Apply the correct amount of good varnish – 1/2 litre per sq metre
  • Maintain the finish properly

Make Wood Good Comments

We stock this varnish as it is significantly easier to build up the high number of coats required for durability of a varnish finish. This should always be used on a CPES primed surface for the best results and maximum durability. If you buy these together as a Permanent Exterior Varnishing Kit  you will get them both at a discount Some of our customers like to use Wood Finish Varnish for the base coats, and finish with one or two coats of Epifanes High Gloss Varnish.
