Epifanes PP Varnish Extra, PPX.2000

Product Description:

Epifanes PP Varnish Extra (PPX.2000) is a two-component varnish based on advanced alkyd resin/isocyanate technology to achieve fast drying, quick re-coating and high-buildup. It offers excellent impact, abrasion and chemical resistance.

PP Varnish Extra has a re-coat time as short as 2.5 hours making it ideal for situations where a fast high-build is required.

If you are starting your project from bare wood, a system comprised of base coats of PP Varnish Extra and finished with glass coats of Epifanes Clear High Gloss, Woodfinish Gloss or Polyurethane Clear Gloss will provide the ultimate system for longevity, durability and beauty.

Use on all types of interior and exterior woods as an insulation base coat, sealer or filling coat for one-component or two-component synthetic or polyester-based varnish systems. 

PP Varnish Extra is an excellent insulating sealer for oily, greasy and vaporous woods such as Teak and Iroco.  

Alone, PP Varnish Extra offers a very high interior gloss retention. For maximum UV resistance in exterior applications, it is recommended to topcoat with two or more coats of Epifanes Clear Gloss Varnish, Woodfinish Gloss or Polyurethane Clear Gloss. Reduce only with Epifanes Thinner for PP Varnish Extra.

Suggested Application & Tips:

Surface Preparation: Bare wood must be free of grease, etc. Degrease with Epifanes Spray Thinner for Paint & Varnish. Do not use water. Sand bare wood with 60 to 80 grit sandpaper along the grain of the wood, and then with 100 to 220 grit sandpaper. Apply with a clean, long-hair, bristle brush of good quality. Re-coating PP Varnish Extra may take place in as little as 2.5 hours if spraying, 5 hours if brushing.

PP Varnish Extra System on Exterior Wood:

*Dry Time: if outside of 24 hours, scuff sand before reapplying additional coats.

When a Satin Finish is Desired: Sand last coat of PP Varnish Extra to 220 grit and apply one or more coats of Epifanes Rubbed Effect Interior Varnish. Sand between coats with 320 grit wet/dry abrasive paper. If desired, replace Epifanes Rubbed Effect Interior Varnish with Epifanes Polyurethane Clear Gloss after the fourth coat; sand with 220 grit wet/dry abrasive paper (if top coating with a one-component product) or 320 wet/dry (if top coating with a two-component product).
