Vanish & Clear Coat

This is a general outline of the process and care we take for a basic annual-maintenance varnish job.

Healthy, well-maintained exterior varnished surfaces will require one maintenance coat per year, unless the boat is in a boathouse or under cover. Additional coats might be needed on surfaces subjected to high traffic, abrasion, or ultraviolet exposure. 

In areas where damage requires touch-up varnishing of bare wood, or if starting a varnish project from bare wood, we apply nine coats of varnish minimum (seven coats on interior surfaces). On transoms, masts, or deep-grained oak, we recommend a minimum of 12 coats. 

Our experienced team provides high-quality timber services on the basis of excellent service, value for money, and convenience. We offer customised services that are tailored towards the customers needs. 

Minimum spend $150 - please bring your vessel or item to our warehouse at Manly Vale or we can come to you with our mobile service. Please email us pics/videos of your vessel/item and we can provide you a quote.
