Coelan (Varnish)
Due to heavy buying I have been able to "REDUCE" the price of COELAN even in spite of the poor rate of the pound against the Euro which has risen by nearly 20% !!
PRICES ARE NOW AS FOLLOWS
3 litre Pails £112.50 incl vat £132.18
750ml tins £35 incl vat £41.12
All 1 litre PRIMERS 27.50 incl vat £32.31
Thinners 1 litre £9.50 incl vat £11.16
From my own experience my bowsprit was coated 5 years ago and has had no recoating or maintenance whatsoever. I have spoken to people who applied this product ten years ago and they still have a wonderful finish. It is NOT affected by ultraviolet light, the enemy of all varnishes. Its finish isn't like normal varnish and has a finish which is more like glass.
IMPORTANT NOTE - This wonderful product can only be used on timber that is down to 15% moisture content.
Those of you with old wooden decks that currently leak, it is not the solution. It is necessary to take moisture readings over the areas you wish to coat with Coelan. The moisture content is critical for a successful application.
Now in stock Moisture meters @ £20 each. All you need to do is buy a small battery.
I would urge all of you to invest in one of these as Coelan is not a cheap product and you need to know if moisture content in the wood is down to 15%
A simple but accurate moisture meter as shown for £20 plus vat
Coelan Primers
There are now three different primers. The yellow is for teak and light coloured woods, the red for mahogany and dark coloured woods, and the brown for oak.
It is necessary to apply two coats of primer. No thinners are necessary with the primer. Use 80 grit sandpaper for preparation. Coverage is 300/400ml per ml/m2 required are 2 coats
When ordering please state type of wood to be covered i.e Teak, Pitch Pine Mahogany, Oak etc so that the correct coloured primer is sent.
Coelan Transparent Finish - Gloss
This is supplied in 750ml tins so leaving you space for thinning if necessary with Coelan thinners. You cannot use any other thinners like acetone or white spirit. The varnish is flowed onto the surface. My experience is that it works very easily into horizontal surfaces, and I found it necessary to thin to apply onto vertical surfaces. You must use 6 coats of the gloss as recommended by the manufacturer. Coverage is 1 litre per 20 sq metres 5 coats. Remember when calculating coverage product comes in 1 litre tins with 3/4 litre in the tin so that you can add thinners. You must put on 5 coats.
I still favour the 750 ml tin as if it does go off you have not lost so much. However I have added a 3 litre tin to those of you who have large areas to do.
Coelan Transparent Finish - Silk
This you can use as a finish coat which will give you a silk finish. It is supplied in smaller tins because you only need one coat.
Coelan Thinner
This is the only thinner you can use with this product. It will thin coelan transparent finishes and also wash and clean brushes and equipment.
