Martin’s 100% Pure Outside 
Spar Varnish 
is especially prepared for finishing 
front doors, store fronts, window

surfaces of wood, which are ex¬ 
posed to the most severe weather 
—possesses remarkable elasticity, 
contracting or expanding with 
cold or heat. Gives splendid re¬ 
sults on all upper parts of water 
craft (see 4 Hour Spar Varnish, 
for use below the water line, and 
for other surfaces immersed in 
water).

pale in color, and the tough finish it gives, protects 
and preserves the surfaces over which it is applied.

proper surface conditions. Allow 2 4 to 4 8 hours to dry 
between coats, depending on weather conditions. Allow

THE HIGHEST QUALITY SPAR VARNISH 
Martin’s Amber-Lyte Penetrating 
Floor Finish 
The feature of this remarkable 
combination of treated oils is the 
fact that it does not merely form a 
surface coating. It PENETRATES 
DEEP INTO THE PORES OF 
THE WOOD and hardens, binding 
the fibres of the wood together 
into a hard impenetrable surface, 
to which dirt and grease cannot 
adhere. It forms an ideal under¬ 
coat for Martin’s 100% Pure Floor Varnish. 
Martin’s Amber-Lyte is used alone as a practical 
finish for kitchens, schools, hospitals, churches and 
other institutions where there is excessive wear. It 
must be well brushed out, and applied in thin coats. 
Covers 1000 to 1200 square feet per gallon, one coat, 
with proper surface conditions. Dries hard over night 
and can be sanded in 2 4 hours.
