{"product_id":"pettit-captains-varnish-1015-amber-spar-varnish-20-oz-aerosol-spray","title":"Pettit Captain's Varnish 1015 Amber Spar Varnish, 20 oz Aerosol Spray","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaptain's Varnish 1015 from Pettit is a high-performance spar varnish formulated for exterior brightwork on boats. It combines phenolic and alkyd resins with tung and linseed oils to deliver a tough yet flexible finish that resists cracking and lifting as wood moves with temperature and humidity. The formula is engineered for outstanding gloss retention and extra U.V. Protection, helping wood trim, rails, and other bright work resist fading and dulling from sun exposure over time. Its warm, light amber hue enhances the natural richness of wood, giving brightwork a classic, traditional appearance rather than a flat or plastic-looking finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaptain's Varnish 1015 is packaged as a 20 oz aerosol spray can, making it convenient to apply thin, even coats without a brush or sprayer setup. For best results, each coat should be kept thin (no more than 3 wet-mils) and allowed to dry overnight before sanding or recoating. Applying several thin coats produces a better result than fewer thick coats, which helps prevent drips and sagging in the finish. This makes it well suited for boat owners maintaining teak rails, trim, transoms, and other varnished wood surfaces that need a durable, glossy, UV-resistant topcoat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pettit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8710120\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Captain's Varnish 1015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 ounces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aerosol spray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Coat Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 3 wet-mils per coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDry Time Before Sanding or Recoating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Overnight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResin\/Oil Composition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phenolic and alkyd resins blended with tung and linseed oils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 725469031746\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 x 3 x 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow thick should each coat of Captain's Varnish 1015 be applied?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each coat of Captain's Varnish 1015 should be applied in a thin coat of no more than 3 wet-mils.
