On new or totally sanded wood:
 | Golden, glossy finish | Clear, glossy finish | Clear, glossy moisture release finish |
| Cleaning | High pressure fresh water washing and degrease if necessary |
| Preparation | Sand with P80-P180 grade sand paper followed by P240-P320 grade |
| Application | 1-15 x Clipper I wet-on-wet until total absorption |
4 x Ravilakk | 4 x Clipper II | 4 x Benar Marine |
To achieve a very high gloss when applying Ravilakk or Clipper II it is advisable to apply one coat per day with sanding in between with a fine grade sandpaper (P320–P400).
Benar Marine may become somewhat tacky, but this will not affect its recoating properties. A new coat can be applied after 24 hours. To be applied in thin coats, brushing carefully.
On top of an old system:
Before any application, product compatibility must be checked. If the type of product is unknown, carry out a simple test using an epoxy or polyurethane solvent (e.g. Jotun Thinner No. 17 or Jotun Thinner No. 18) on a clean cotton cloth. If solvent attacks the varnish (soft or wrinkles), it is a one-pack product. If the paint withstands the solvent (maybe some loss of gloss only), it is a two-pack product. Old two-pack varnishes must be removed.
