POTEE DU TONKINOIS is a clear, flexible filler, compatible with Le Tonkinois.
It is ideal for filling cracks, holes and dents. Cracks still show, but are completely sealed.
Fill deep cracks in several applications, allowing it to harden between applications.
Le Tonkinois Classic has been replaced by Vernis No1 for all new orders.
Original stocks of Classic are almost depleted.
Gives a high gloss finish, add Gelomat for matt or satin finish.
Varnish coverage 20 sq m per litre per coat.
0.5 Litre Vernis No 1 is packaged in Classic cans with an extra label.
Le Tonkinois Vernis Marine No1
Unbleached, 18" x 32" nominal size
Sticky resin covered cloth for removing dust particles from surface before varnishing.
Scrunch up the cloth and lightly dab over the surface.
Major sources of dust during varnishing are due to airborne dust particles and particles left on the wood after sanding, especially in corners or joints.
GELOMAT is a liquid matting agent for reducing the high gloss of Le Tonkinois.
IMPORTANT Shake can well before mixing as it is thixotropic.
Apply the required coats as normal gloss, do not mix Gelomat with these coats.
Then apply an additional thin coat mixing in Gelomat with the Le Tonkinois varnish.
Mix 1 part Gelomat to 2 parts varnish for matt.
Mix 1 part Gelomat to 3 parts varnish for satin (this is often preferred to matt).
Vary these proportions to suit your taste, if you varnish a scrap piece of wood when doing the main varnishing you can use it for tests.
This mixture forms a very thin layer that takes somewhat longer to cure.
Note when working out the required Gelomat size it is only mixed with a single coat so in many cases a small can is enough.
eg for 3 coats gloss plus 1 coat of satin mix you will only use less than 1/10 of the total varnish applied, or to put it another way if the job uses a full 2.5L of varnish for 3 coats plus a satin finishing coat you would need 0.25L of Gelomat.
