Ultimate Cabin Sole Finish
17 years ago
This is the best varnish I ever used, however, I did not apply it using a brush. I rebuilt nearly the entire interior of a Hunter 34...all new wood and cabin sole. I first used a clear penetrating epoxy sealer for the sole and did not wait for the full cure. At the suggestion of the CPES manufacturer, I applied Epiphane while the sealer was still tacky which draws the finish into the wood. Took two days to dry but after that, it when on beautifully. At the suggestion of a friend who restores old Chris Crafts, I used a foam brush. Yes, I thought he was off his rocker but the resulting finish was like it was professionaly sprayed on...furniture quality. Not one flaw and after 3 seasons, it still looks like the day I applied it and wearing like iron.

Q: null Given the difficulty to achieve a proper final coat with this product (hand rubbed effect) can it be sanded and hit with a compound and waxed for a uniform finish with integrity for a dining table? I have 6 coats gloss and 2 coats of hand rubbed. I just sanded with 400 to apply a third as I am not satisfied. Curious if I can sand up to 600/800 and and leave it alone or if the sanding makes it susceptible to elements? Any suggestions greatly help

A: I have used both the Rubbed Effect and the Matte. I have always found the Rubbed Effect to be more difficult to use. It sets quickly and doesn't flow well for me. The Matte over Gloss is beautiful.

Q: null Can this varnish be used over Total Boat Lust varnish?
4 years ago1 Answer
A: I haven't used these two choices together on the same project. However, compatibility between different manufacturers is vert tricky because of different base formulations. You must try on a sample board. This is not an easy solution for your project.

Q: null I have a 28 year old Shannon which has had nothing but teak oil on the exterior. How do I remove the old oil? Will the rubbed effect eprifranes give me a rich tone on this old wood?
10 years ago6 Answers
A: Hello! I can't tell you how to remove the old oil, but I have had experience with the Rubbed Effect Epifanes. We completely restored a 30' Catalina recently and stripped all the teak, then applied 3-6 coats of Captain's Varnish and then applied 2 coats of Rubbed Effect Epifanes on the INTERIOR wood only. It came out just beautifully and looks like fine furniture. I'm not sure I would recommend it for exterior wood, as it's not as hard as gloss. I hope that helps! Happy sailing.

Q: null I want a satin finish on a mahogany front entry door. I have applied coats of Epiphanes Spar Varnish and it is going on well. I do want a more subtle final finish. Can I overcoat the last coat with the Mattte finish? It is an exterior location that is under a porch, but does get some moisture and sun.
10 years ago4 Answers
A: Epiphanes suggests a build up of gloss varnish underneath the rubbed effect, so I would say yes to your question.

Q: null Does this product yellow over time?
10 years ago3 Answers
A: I use Epifanes on almost all of the furniture I build and have not noticed any yellowing. These are mostly cherry and walnut. Some of the furniture is over ten years old. Additionally, I have used it on teak cabinets and table surface on my boat with no sign of yellowing.
