Choosing which polyurathane varnish
Both Ronseal and Dulux sell a solvent based polyurathane clear varnish.
On the Dulux website they say their polyurathane is a 'trade' varnish. Is there anything to choose between the Ronseal and Dulux products? What I'm looking for is the hardest wearing matt finish that is fairly easy to apply. It's for a table top surface. Grateful for any advice on which is the best product to go for. Thanks. |

The tradesman who polyurethaned our floor recommended gloss (two coats, I think), followed by matt (or satin). This produces a surface that is both hard-wearing and looks good. |

This is harder and clearer, with much less yellow to it. Rustin's Bar- top is the well-known UK one. This is heatproof too, and they also do it for floors as Floorcoat without the heat-resistance. That works on tables too. It's a two-part, but easy to work with (it's not epoxy). Stinks when applied, but this dissipates after a couple of hours. It's very quick to work - hard in a few hours. It comes in gloss and semi-matt. If you want it duller, then let it harden and 0000 wire wool it a day or two later. |

According to the datasheet on their site, it is still the good old flammable toluene formulation but, on the Axminster site, is is shown in a plastic container. I'm sure it always used to come in a metal can. |
