Le Tonkinois Varnish is a traditional oil based varnish, manufactured using a 200 year old Chinese recipe. It contains Linseed oil, Tung oil & natural resins. No solvents or water therefore it is environmentally friendly and is a pleasure to work with, no nasty smells and no brush marks.
Le Tonkinois Varnish is 100% waterproof and does not crack or flake off, even on oily woods like Teak and Iroko. It also withstands hot pans and boiling water. It produces a high quality and professional finish and requires very little maintenance, simply add a top up coat every few years as required.
Le Tonkinois Varnish has gained world recognition for its results and is regarded as one of the world’s best varnishes for indoor, outdoor and marine use.
