JOHA® Oil Varnish Standard – The Perfect Choice for Beginners and Professionals
The JOHA® Oil Varnish Standard is an excellent choice for instrument making and is suitable for both beginners and professionals. With its user-friendly application, even beginners can apply even and precise coats, providing the opportunity to correct mistakes. Professionals, on the other hand, appreciate its high quality and durability for achieving perfect results.
This varnish consists of a special mixture of natural and synthetic resins, dissolved in turpentine and linseed oil, and offers excellent vibration properties. It dries faster than many other oil varnishes – approximately 1–5 days per coat. Once dried, the varnish forms a resistant surface.
Whether you are a beginner looking for an easy solution or a professional who demands the highest standards in varnishing – the JOHA® Oil Varnish Standard is ideal for both. For the best results, we recommend a three-layer build-up: Primer, Color Varnish, and Coating.
