Le Tonkinois is one of the best natural oil-based varnish formulations available. The No 1. and the Classic are a combination of linseed oil and tung oil. It is the hardest and most durable of the traditional coatings, offering excellent ultraviolet light resistance. It can withstand walking traffic, abrasion, saltwater, and a harsh marine climate with only basic maintenance requirements.

 

Soaks into the wood substrate and wears slowly with time versus the cracking, peeling, and failure of most modern petrochemical-based barnish products.

 

Apply the Viking Purified Linseed Oil or the especially formulated Bio Impression Primer bare wood for long-lasting results.

 

Apply Linseed Oil Varnish directly to “primed” wood or over previously applied Linseed Oil Varnish.
