Owatrol Deks Olje D.2 Clear High-Gloss Marine Varnish 1L

Description

High-Gloss Marine Varnish for Hardwood

Owatrol Deks Olje D.2 is a clear marine varnish designed to provide a deep, high-gloss finish while allowing the natural appearance and grain of the wood to remain visible.

Its flexible protective film is formulated to resist blistering, cracking, peeling and flaking, making it well suited to exterior wood exposed to demanding marine conditions.

Designed for Marine Use

Deks Olje D.2 is specifically designed for exterior and marine woodwork and offers resistance to wet and dry abrasion, including exposure to salt water.

On boats, it is intended for suitable woodwork above the waterline.

Typical applications include:

• Handrails
• Rubbing strakes
• Wheelhouses
• Masts and booms
• Exterior hardwood trim
• Other suitable exterior marine woodwork above the waterline

Use with Deks Olje D.1

For the complete Owatrol Deks Olje system, the wood should first be treated with Owatrol Deks Olje D.1.

Allow D.1 to dry for approximately 24–72 hours before applying D.2. The surface should be completely dry and non-tacky before the first coat of D.2 is applied.

Application

The surface must be properly prepared, clean and completely dry before application.

Apply 4–6 coats of Deks Olje D.2, allowing at least approximately 12 hours between coats under suitable conditions. Lower temperatures or higher relative humidity can increase the required drying time.

Routine sanding between coats is not necessary.

If wood fibres become raised, a fine abrasive above P240 may be used as appropriate. For an enhanced high-gloss finish, Owatrol also provides a specific fine-sanding procedure using abrasive above P400 before the final finishing stage.

Always follow the current Owatrol technical instructions when applying the complete system.

Allow Sufficient Time Before Use

Once application is complete, Owatrol’s current technical guidance recommends allowing approximately one week before putting the treated surface into service.

Drying times can vary according to temperature, humidity, ventilation and application conditions.

Important for Decks & Walking Surfaces

Deks Olje D.2 produces a high-gloss film that can become slippery, particularly when wet.

For frequently walked-on deck areas, Owatrol recommends using Deks Olje D.1 without D.2, unless an appropriate anti-slip solution is incorporated.
