Epifanes Wood Finish Matte (500 ml) Package may Vary

Great product! The finish is amazing on my kitchen cabinets. I thinned it 20% and used it as my final coat after several coats of the regular high gloss Epifanes varnish and the results were fantastic!I read lots of reviews about this product being difficult to use and lots of brush marks. Thinning and applying efficiently and leaving it alone once you have applied it is key. I thinned it with the Epifanes thinner as recommended.

This is a great looking low sheen varnish that adds a bit of amber color to your project.

Disclaimer: I am not a woodworker or finisher. First I brushed on 2 coats of gloss on front cherry door. Looked very uneven with gloss and dull areas. Then made the mistake of applying this matte product right out of the can (without thinning). Nightmare brush strokes and drip marks and uneven areas where I tried in vain to correct. But somehow when this mess dried completely in around 4 hours, it looked much better. But still not good.Then I read about the product, which I should have done the first time, and saw recommendations for thinning. Second coat I thinned by 10-15% and went on much better but still difficult and not great. But somehow, when it all dried, it looked great. The super matte finish is extremely forgiving because it doesn't catch any reflections. Very happy now and will follow up with 0000 steel wool and paste wax for perfection. Unless someone comments here that this is a terrible thing to do.

Like other reviewers, I did not enjoy applying this finish. I applied over Epifanes high gloss varnish on a front door. While the varnish was a breeze to apply and left a beautiful, even, high-gloss finish, the matte finish was very difficult to brush evenly and began setting in seconds. This results in a hurried application which leaves an imperfect application. Another reviewer suggested using 85/15 ratio with thinner. I believe that's a wise suggestion.

Amazing Products! We just build an outdoor bar out of roughsawn lumber, and this matte finish was the exact look it needed.We used the clear gloss varnish for the initial coats as required. I did hours of research before selecting Epiphanes. Our weather has many extremes, and many expert blogs recommended Epiphanes. Because it breathes, it doesn't get brittle over time. Project is time intensive--7-8 coats required initially BUT annual maintenance for continued protection is just light sanding and one coat. Their customer support is outstanding. I am a total novice. They walked me through my questions and made additional suggestions. I messed up 1/2 way through and send a Sunday night panicked email--amazed when my phone rang Monday am. Their support Rep said he could sense my panic and wanted to reassure me, then walk me through the corrective steps. WOW! Bar is finished and simply beautiful.

Easy to apply, its not fussy about conditions. I roll it on with a 4" 3/8 nap Home Depot "no lint" roller and it looks showroom. Lint from most rollers will mess up your project. Even with these great rollers, blow them off or use masking tape beforehand to get the smallest bit of lint, or whatever, off your new roller.And thin the Epifanes about 10%. Apply with a heavy hand.

This finish is the nicest finish that I have ever used. Little did I know (but found out on Epifanes website) that Epifanes Wood Finish Matte is the companion product to Wood Finish Gloss and offers a no sanding solution in a matte finish. Wood Finish Matte looks its best when applied over multiple coats of Wood Finish Gloss, (which also does not need sanding in between coats if recoated within 72 hrs.} The Gloss finish I applied 3 coats at a 1:1 ratio, the Matte finish I applied 2 coats at a 5:1 ratio. The outcome of these five coats is so beautiful and has the apperance of being hand-rubbed. Over the years I have refinished a living room, dining room, bedroom floor, a dresser, two maple rockers and a couple of small side tables and I wish I had used this product doing those items. It is a beautiful finish. I definitely would recommend this product to everyone.

Excellent material. Covers well, although a little thick in the can. Finished a set of cedar Adirondack chairs. Applied one coat, dried, lightly sanded (320 grit sandpaper to knock off dust), applied second coat, which went on smoothly and resulted in a smooth finish. Has been in the rain and sun, and seems durable, but it has only been 2 months. Water beads up nicely, and the natural appearance of the wood comes through beautifully. It did darken the wood slightly, but in an attractive fashion. In the future I will dilute it somewhat with Epifanes Thinner for P & V Brush, and apply more coats, just to ease the application process (used foam brush).

difficile à mettre pour la deuxième couche, mais la première tout à fait facile. finition impec, et il n'y a pas de couleur ajouté, ça donne la même couleur du bois.
