Le Tonkinois Varnish is an environmentally friendly natural oil-based yacht varnish, that uses a Chinese formula dating back two or three centuries. Designed to remove brush-marks, bring out the natural beauty of the timber without cracking or flaking off, this permanent varnish is simple to use and only requires an additional coat every few years. Proven as the perfect solution for the amateur user seeking a professional product, Le Tonkinois Varnish comes available in three separate forms.
Le Tonkinois Classic is a high-quality finish known for its exceptional penetration, even on oily timbers, creating a strong and lasting bond without leaving brush marks. It forms a tough, non-porous, and weatherproof coating that is highly resistant to UV rays, sea water, and other harsh elements. Free from harmful or irritating ingredients, it is ideal for indoor use but also surpasses many competitors in outdoor applications. Ecologically friendly and free of petroleum solvents, it can be applied over most existing finishes (excluding wax), and enhances the natural beauty and colour of bare wood. Especially suited for boats and garden furniture, it remains flexible and will not crack, chip, or peel. Its natural, brilliant gloss can also be adjusted to a matte finish if desired.
