Application etc does it need thinning for 1st coat. I want to use it for a high gloss on some garden furniture I am making which will be exposed to a lot of sunlight and heat in SE France.
And me I hate painting and varnishing, I would spray it but as it's going to need lots of coats the wastage will be too high.Gives good results for cack handed amateurs on top of poorly prepared surfaces. And can be easily touched up.
I.e. the perfect gloop for people like me.
If it is too thick - warm the can up a bit rather than using thinners.
What's d2No need to thin its like water anyway but really good stuff. You do need lots of coats but you need to recoat before the last coat is dry. I usually go with 7 to 11 coats. Good luck ,have fun. If your after a high gloss you need to finish off with d2
I think you may be confusing it with Deks Olje which is nothing like Le Tonkinois (and not particularly good stuff either in my experience)Le tonks comes if two types d1 and d2. D1 is a base coat, thats all i ever use, d2 is the top coat
More than painting and varnishing, I hate the preparation. The varnishing bit is OK.And me I hate painting and varnishing, I would spray it but as it's going to need lots of coats the wastage will be too high.
I found it lasted better than Epifanes and two component stuff.Lovely stuff to use, but I found it did not last well with high UV exposure
