The finishing methods and combinations in woodworking are countless , every carpenter has its own preferences , but for sure the wood varnish finishing , is a very famous way and for a reason .

Usually when you hear for wood varnish , your mind goes to chemical products , but this isn’t always the only way .

If you want to see the entire post with the varnish knowledge , go in HERE .

As always i’ll try to recommend you some very famous , capable and maybe(!) cheap – affordable products .

The Sunnyside paint & varnish , 2 minute Remover gel .

Before all the varnish treatment you want to do to your wood , you should reassure that the old varnish and materials are gone from your surface .

A nice general paint and varnish remover is a must and this gel type from Sunnyside , is one of the most popular .

It’s very quick in its removing actions and a couple of minutes will be enough , even if you have many old layers to clean . It’s in a new safer chemical formula with no methylene chroride and will not harm your wood of course .

Begin your varnish “journey” correctly buying this remover from Amazon in here .

Maybe combine it with THIS from Amazon , paint and varnish remover disc from 3M and don”t think there will be a paint – varnish or whatever else , to cause you any removal theme .

The Tried & True , Varnish Oil natural pine resin & linseed oil .

You already know that i like much the linseed oil and oils and waxes in general and this oil – resins mixture is a chracteristic product from the very “top shelf” .

I’m holding myself not to tell you how you can turn your oils into varnishes , but i’ll leave this for the linseed oil area post .

This is a very good varnish mixture using linseed oil – resins and see this : it’s 100% natural and that’s why it’s food safe . Pine resin and linseed oil are the only ingredients it has and this is very good.

No yellow flakes while aging , zero chemicals at all , very strong protection while the pine resin matures – getting old , no heavy metals .

It can be used to any wood project you have , your wooden handles , in cabinetry , for your rifles wooden parts , before you stain as a sealer and after your stain – paint or whatever you’ve done to your wooden surfaces .

Remember it’s 100% natural and if you like this kind of approach , this is your “golden” solution .

The TotalBoat Marine Varnish , polyurethane for Wood , Boats and Outdoor .

This is a top outdoor – marine coverage polyurethane for anything you can imagine and it needs a very strong protection . If it’s top for the sea conditions , it’s top for sure for your outdoors .

It’s made from resins , excellent UV protector factors – blockers , tung – oil and it won’t crack or peel after a while . At the same time it’ll remain flexible and tolerable to small movements .

You can have it for glossy or satin result and according to your surface , you should adapt your coating layers and you can use a brush( synthetic) , a roll or a spray .

Have this and you won’t need anything more for your outdoors . It’s a total solution .

Make your final checkings and take it from the Amazon through this path .

The SamaN Interior Water Based Varnish with aluminum oxide .

A water – based formula varnish for your interior is a basic “weapon” for your varnish “armory” and this from Saman is a classical choice .

Saman tries and has achieved to create very eco – friendly finishing products and this isn’t an exception . It’s safe for the environment , people and pets , but it provides very durable results .

It gives a crystal clear finish and after your applying( easy for all ) , you can clean it easily from any unwanted area , your tools , brushes , et.c .

I don’t tink that you’ll find any disadvantage for this , maybe its satin is a little more glossy than expected , but it’s ok i suppose .

Saman is kind hard to find in Greece – Athens , but i have some experience with this type of water based stuff , having the best opinion . The water based products are evoluting so fast .

Go to Amazon and get it from here .

I suppose having some of the above varnishes will cover your majority of your needs for indoors – outdoors , antiques maybe and many more of your wooden creations .
