    Old Masters Super Varnish

    Anyone have any experience using Old Master Super Varnish satin? Pratt & Lambert #38 satin is no longer manufactured, and I can no longer find old stock. Thank you.

    Sorry, no but I do like the old masters stains in general, so maybe the Super Varnish is worth a try. I'm still looking for a replacement for my old favorite that got discontinued, let us know if you find a good one.

    Hi, no experience with that one however I have used Minwax oil modified water based satin poly.

    I normally used oil based however this one lets you apply all 4 coats in one day. And has a traditional look.

    You might want to try it out on a sample....Rod

    I love the Old Masters varnish!! When I was doing full time finish carpentry and woodworking we would use this exclusively. I have on my kitchen cabinets and dining room table.
    Free tip. Amber shellac and Old Masters on cherry is fantastic!!

    Amber shellac as a sealer and and Old Masters as a top coat. Thanks for the tip Tom. How many coats of OM would you use?
