{"product_id":"pettit-flagship-varnish-2015-high-gloss-marine-spar-varnish-quart","title":"Pettit Flagship Varnish 2015 High-Gloss Marine Spar Varnish, Quart","description":"\u003cp\u003ePettit Flagship Varnish 2015 is a high-gloss polyurethane spar varnish formulated for wood surfaces on boats. It carries a much higher UV protection package than Pettit's standard varnish line, helping the finish resist sun damage over time while building to a deep, mirror-like gloss. Because it can be built up in many coats, it is well suited to brightwork projects where a thick, glass-like buildup is the goal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach coat of Flagship Varnish 2015 can be applied slightly heavier than Pettit's other varnishes, up to 4 wet-mils per coat, which can help reduce the total number of coats needed to reach a full buildup. Every coat should be allowed to dry overnight before sanding or recoating. If a coat is applied too thick and drips occur, sand the drips out with 220 grit sandpaper, overlapping slightly into the surrounding finish, then apply a new coat across the whole surface to blend the appearance. If dust settles into a wet coat, let it dry completely, sand back just enough to remove the trapped particles while overlapping into the surrounding finish, then recoat to even out the look.\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 8720108\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marine Varnish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyurethane (PU)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 Quart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Wet-Mil Thickness per Coat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 wet-mils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecoat\/Sanding Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry overnight before sanding or recoating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUV Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e High UV protection package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow thick can each coat of Pettit Flagship Varnish 2015 be applied?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each coat of Flagship Varnish 2015 can be applied up to 4 wet-mils thick, a slightly heavier coat than Pettit's other varnishes, which should be kept to no more than 3 wet-mils per coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long should I wait before sanding or recoating?\u003c\/strong\u003e All coats of Flagship Varnish 2015 should be allowed to dry overnight before sanding or recoating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat should I do if the varnish drips while applying it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Drips happen when a coat is applied too thick.
