Product Overview
Pettit High Build Varnish is a good varnish for building up multiple coats quickly.
High Build Varnish 2056 is a high performance varnish designed to be built up to many coats for a deep, rich, mirror-like finish. The phenolic resin combined with tung and linseed oils increases the depth of gloss with each coat. Hi-Build Varnish contains an ultraviolet light filter which works along with a hindered amine light stabilizer to screen the sun’s damaging rays for longer life.
