Spar varnish

Post by fallguy1000 »

I put a coat of varnish on headliner seam trims. It is evil to one coat something? I'm tired of everything taking 3-22 passes, in a fairing rut.

There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

I wanted a blessing and didn't even have to go to church.

Thanks and thanks to God for the forum.

Go in peace and do not coat again.

Always more than happy to talk someone out of applying extra coats of ANYTHING!

Argh..

A few areas of gloss inconsistencies where the varnish soaked in more than others.

Gonna need a 2nd coat tonight.

Rusty can from recycle station. A small revenge on my ever expanding budgetary demands.
