Has anyone tried Le Tonkinois varnish?

They make great claims, and the sample pics look amazing. I'm nearly ready to varnish MR2720, and after 3 weeks of mornings and evenings I dont want to be taking it all back off. 
Does anyone have any experience of this stuff?

Frank.

I used it on 1620, having seen it at Dusseldorf boat show. Looks nice, but not very scratch resistant.

One thing is that it quickly forms a skin when exposed to air in a part full pot, so keep it in empty water bottles and squeeze the excess air out each time. By the way, it smells fabulous.

Even better or just as good, just turn the tin upside down after you have put the lid back on; and store upside down, that way any skin is on the bottom when the right way up.

The problem is that the classic Tonkinois varnish forms a very thin & floppy skin overnight, so between layers. When the varnish is then disturbed bits of it get mixed up with the varnish. Trust me, variable geometry containers work better, at least for short term storage. I just saw that they have a new product which it specifically says doesn't form a skin in the can, so they obviously are aware of this shortcoming. You can get these products in the Castorama DIY chain in France.

Also, I didn't mean to be critical in my first reply. It is a superb traditional varnish, and very easy to apply as they claim; just thet the scratch resistance is not up to modern products

Blakes duragloss is the best single pack I have used.

Awlgrip and Awlbrite Clear expensive but absolutely the best.

I think they have changed something in the Duragloss because it seems a lot more difficult to work with than it was 12 months ago. A shame because the Blakes one pack products were head and shoulders above the competition.

Of the two leading brands I think i'd use International Goldspar.

I concur with Pro, Awlgrip is the stuff of choice it grips it flexes it's hard. The varnish is clear with great UV protection too so the colour of your wood stays just that! Stain it all the same and you get the Sheraton/Chippendale effect! The Paint has an excellent range of colours.  It lasts too.
The late Jimmy Ledwith (Thames S C & MR Champ, and all round good egg.) was a paint chemist (ICI) and he was adamant it was all like petrol, very hard to tell any difference between brands, Woolworths through to the most expensive, what he was absolutely adamant about was varnishing and painting was better done in warmer weather with a rising temperature gradient as it dried, thus what most do, that is to say, winter evenings is not best practice, spring or summer early mornings is. Of course it wastes a day “watching paint dry" but there is always fishing, Waitrose, The Pub or the garden! This advice, he said, applied equally to synthetic or natural variations.

Simple tip from my father, just pop cling film on top of the varnish in the pot it gives an artificial skin.
my lazy tip wrap the brush in cling film between coats, no need for claening!!.

Or just suspend the tips of your brushes in linseed oil, being the main ingedient of Varnish, you will never have to clean your brushes again! Doesn't work with 2 pack epoxy.
