Birch - Finish references - Water-based varnish

Plexwood - Birch finish: Water-based varnish, reference


Delivery: Except for Acoustic, Plexwood is delivered semi-finished. With the finish the end result and colour is determined


Properties of this type of finish: A varnish is applied directly onto the wood, sealing the wood completely, hence the amount of wear with a varnish finish is, to a great extent, determined by the wear resistance factor of the varnish


Effect on colour balance of the wood: A pale type of wood like birch remains pale with water-based varnish


Finishing advice: Plexwood is partly composed of end grain wood veneers, which have a higher absorption quality than wood with the grain, always choose an appropriate water-based finishing, as not all acrylics and water-based varnishes are suitable for Plexwood. Generally, very thin or diluted agents are not appropriate. The manufacturer of the product in question can inform you whether their product is suitable, and if necessary, run a test


Maintenance: A varnish layer requires less maintenance than oil/wax, but cannot be retouched locally. Always use a maintenance product that corresponds with the original finisher. The manufacturer of the chosen product usually has corresponding maintenance polishes available
