yaucht varnish

[mossymorris]

not quite my friend.. still grating the fresh parmasan from the bike trip.. i'll do the third coat one freezing day in december probably... or is there a rule against varnishing in the frost? probably..

Well,

there's no law about varnishing in the frost

from previous experience (boat varnishing) I'd suggest that you don't varnish when the wood is damp, nor when there's likely to be dew/frost on the varnish before it's hardened.

If you do, it'll either peel off or develop a "bloom" (or both ).
That's my experience and I'd hate for you to waste your time (another excuse to put it off till spring)

All the best,

Colin
