Pettit Captain's Varnish 1015 Waterbased Polyurethane Gloss Marine Varnish, 1 Quart

Captain's Varnish 1015 from Pettit is a waterbased polyurethane gloss varnish built for brightwork on boats. Its exceptional flow and leveling characteristics, combined with superior clarity, produce a smooth, clear surface that brings out the natural beauty of fine wood while providing long-lasting protection. Special UV inhibitors help ensure long life and protection even in harsh marine environments.

This 1 quart container covers approximately 110 square feet and is recommended for both interior and exterior wood surfaces. For best results, apply Captain's Varnish 1015 in thin coats of no more than 3 wet mils each, since applying several thin coats produces better results than a few thick ones. Allow each coat to dry overnight before sanding or recoating. High humidity or excess moisture in the air can extend drying time. If drips occur, sand them out with 220 grit sandpaper (slightly overlapping the surrounding finish) and apply a fresh coat across the entire surface to blend the appearance; if dust settles into a wet coat, let it dry fully, sand back just enough to remove the contamination, and recoat the same way.
