Licon Shellac Varnish is a fast-drying protective coating that enhances the appearance and longevity of wood surfaces. It forms a hard, glossy film that seals the surface, protecting it from moisture, dust, and minor scratches. The shellac binder penetrates slightly into the wood, accentuating natural grain patterns while providing a polished finish.

The varnish is easy to apply using brushes or cloth, and dries quickly to allow multiple coats for deeper protection and sheen.

H2 – Material Quality, Durability and Environmental Performance

This shellac varnish is formulated from high-quality shellac resins and solvents, providing consistent coverage and superior adhesion. It performs well under typical Kenyan indoor conditions, offering resistance to mild wear and household humidity. The water- or alcohol-based solvent ensures smooth flow and controlled drying.

While it protects surfaces from minor environmental effects, it is intended primarily for indoor or sheltered use.

H2 – Installation, Handling and Compatibility

Licon Shellac Varnish is applied on clean, dry, and sanded wood surfaces using a brush, cloth, or spray equipment. Stir thoroughly before use. Apply thin, even coats, allowing 1–2 hours drying time between coats, and lightly sand between layers for a smoother finish.

The varnish is compatible with most untreated wood and previously sealed surfaces (after testing). Protective gloves and adequate ventilation are recommended during application.

H2 – Typical Applications in Kenya

This varnish is commonly used for furniture, cabinets, doors, window frames, and decorative woodwork. Carpenters, furniture makers, and homeowners use it to protect and beautify indoor wood surfaces in homes, offices, schools, and hotels. It pairs effectively with sanding primers and wood preparation products available in the Shop at Ngong Hills Merchants.
