Polyvine Heavy Duty Interior Varnish Satin or Dead Flat Finishes – Quick Dry Varnish – Polyurethane, Water-Based, Water Resistant Coating for Indoor Woodwork, Painted Surfaces & More, Satin 500ml

October 2025 The packaging has changed, the name altered but the product is the same. Simple to use, keeps wood looking like wood. Easy apply and easy to clean your brush/roller. Not only was it cheaper ~ it was next day delivery. The local main dealer for this brand only had a half litre container They had no deliveries expected as the other types were still in stock Another dealer could get it to order Åmazon delivered for less the next day This is an excellent product if you don't want to colour your plywood It goes on easily with a little Mohair roller Doesn't need brushing out Dries quickly Doesn't even look like you've done anything to the plywood. If you want a totally natural wood look, Polyvine Dead Flat Interior Wood Varnish is brilliant

Great product - achieved a beautiful result on my wooden kitchen worktop. I turned to this after being failed by other brands . This is waterproof and avoids those temporary cloudy markings created by some varnishes when a damp object is layed on the surface. It cures quickly too allowing you to use your work surfaces sooner than any other acrylic varnish I hace tried.

Caught my interest my dining table, as it is heat resistant as well. Was easy to apply with a paint brush, with quick 45 min drying time as expected. I applied 3 layers without sanding in between, but did not bother starting with 2 layers of satin before the final dead flat, as written on the container. It still seems to do the work and protect my painted table. It even helped hide some of the paint brush marks visible before applying the varnish. No distortion of the colours. Much better than the varnish i used before which ended up tacky after a few months. I will see after a few months and update the feedback if needed.

Purchased this product to use on a wooden platter that had been overpainted with Acrylic Paints as a top for a decorative matching sidetable in the lounge for my cups of tea. Main reason selected this one is because it says it has a Heat & waterproof finish with a "cure" time of sixteen hours. The only reason I have given four is because it hasn't been tested with these elements yet but as the finish is mat it looks Ok other than the second coat has very faint brush lines that only appeared on the second coating of varnish but hopefully it will meet the other criteria.

After painting my kitchen cupboards with Johnstone's cupboard paint, it started to get scratched away (behind frequently used handles etc), exposing the original wood 😩 this was incredibly frustrating as I had spent so long painting them and they looked so good at first! Fast forward 6 months or so and I'd had enough, and decided to protect them. I touched up the exposed areas with the dribble of cupboard paint I had left and went at it with this stuff the following day. On the advice of someone else who had worked with this, I used a roller (designed for varnish), but didn't connect it to the handle bit. I used my hands and just pulled it up and down the cupboard doors in one go (not in a rolling motion). If you do choose to use this method, wear gloves!!! I cannot stress this enough! It seems obvious but was only obvious to me after the first coat... Anyway, 3 coats later and my only regret is that I didn't use it straight away after painting my cupboards. It would have saved me a lot of grief and touch ups! Also, my one year old has just scribbled on the cupboards with a pencil and it's fine! I just scrubbed it with a wet scourer and the mark disappeared (but the paint and child didn't) 😃 Can't rate this highly enough! Seriously recommend!!!!! 5⭐️

I love this varnish. My husband had carved a Dougal as a gift. I painted the face with acrylic paint and we left the body plain wood. So I needed a varnish to seal the paint and protect the wood. This worked brilliantly. It’s easy to apply…I used a brush and sponge for different areas. It flows out lovely and dried really quickly…about 30 minutes. I applied 3 coats across a couple of days but could have got it done quicker. I got a lovely tactile gloss finish. I’d definitely use this for other projects. It goes a long way so quite economical.

Sprayed on 2 and 3 layers of this to a table I had renovated: 2 coats on the painted legs and 3 coats was needed on the top as the wood was bare and more porous. Goes on white and dried clear and like a soft satin finish, (not Matt and not too shiny, in between) in two hours outside in the sun between coats. Non smelly and very easy to work with in my spray gun. I found washing tools with just water was all that was needed. Will buy again.

Very good product and does the job perfectly for what I needed! I use it mainly to seal crafty pyrography earrings and I am very happy with the result. Doesn't have any glance, but you can see they are protected. I use it also on bookmarks which gives them nice finished look with only 2 coats. You can use it without gloves, it won’t irritate your skin and the best thing is that don’t have any nasty smell like some other products. I don’t know how it will look on a furniture or something bigger, but for small items I strongly recommend it for all crafty work. Is very easy to clean your brush after use too with only little warm soapy water.

This stuff is great ! goes on nice and protects nice, if I had to say one negative thing it would be the price.

Applied with a brush but needed to water it Down by less than 2% to allow it to flow. Finish was hard, Dead flat was very dull so went back to Satin.

Goes on milky white dries clear and shiny. Protects wonderfully. Use it alot

Lo uso da molti anni per proteggere i mobili in legno verniciato o naturale. Il prodotto è molto facile da applicare e il risultato è opaco, il colore dei mobili non viene alterato. Sul rovere, dona un aspetto naturale e allo stesso tempo protetto.

I bought this to use as a sealer for my craft projects. It works very well! It's easy to use and dries with a smooth, glossy finish. It's high-quality and not sticky when it dries. It dries quickly. It is expensive, but a very little bit goes a long way. I highly recommend this.
