Oil-based clear exterior wood finish from Rust-Oleum Varathane. Spar formulation flexes with wood as it expands and contracts through seasonal humidity and temperature swings, resisting the cracking and peeling that hard interior finishes suffer outdoors. UV absorbers built into the resin shield the wood grain from sun damage. A traditional golden hue deepens the natural warmth of the wood over time.

• Semi-Gloss sheen -- medium-shine finish that balances glow with reduced glare; a versatile choice for doors, garden furniture, and decorative exterior wood
• Practical coverage: 380 to 760 sq ft per gallon at recommended dry film thickness (assumes 15% material loss)
• UV absorbers protect wood grain from sun damage
• Spar (flexible) resin expands and contracts with wood -- resists cracking and peeling under weather cycles
• Self-leveling for a smooth even finish with brush or foam applicator
• Warm golden tone deepens the natural color of the wood as it cures
• Oil-based alkyd formula, mineral-spirits cleanup
• Size: 1 Gallon

Application Tip: Prep bare wood with 120-grit then 220-grit sandpaper and remove dust before finishing. Apply 3 thin coats (a fourth for horizontal surfaces exposed to weather like handrails and deck tops). Sand lightly with 220-grit between coats once dry. Wait 24 hours before light use and 3 days before normal use.

Note: Outdoor spar urethane is designed to weather in sun and rain -- for indoor floors and furniture where hard-wear scratch resistance matters more than flex, use an interior polyurethane instead. Stir slowly before use; shaking creates bubbles that show up as pinholes in the film.
