    Spar Varnish on cedar split rail fence

    I am installing ~ 1000 feet of fence, and the wife wants to varnish to keep the color longer. Would probably recoat each year or so - depending. I am NOT planning to brush coat that much fence, so I am looking at spray options. Maybe a Wagner airless painter would work? Anyone have any...

    Zinsser Bulls Eye Spar Varnish...

    Not happy with it. The dry time is excessive. I am making some replacement thwarts for my Father's canoe. I bought the Zinsser product because it was a little cheaper. The can says a dry time of around 4 hours to re-coat, at the proper temperature range and humidity level. Well my shop is at 70º...

    All, We've made some outdoor plaques/signs from WRC . I've put 3 coats of Zinsser Bulls Eye Spar int/ext Varnish on the top and sides but not the back hoping that it would make them a little more weather resistant and protect the stain/paint. I didn't apply any to the backs cause for some...

    Would you varnish over teak?

    I just took the cabin top hand rails off my sailboat. They were looking pretty bad - old and weathered. They had a gray cast to them and I expected to find them weak. I was just going to trace them and cut new ones out of white oak. I was surprised to find they were still quite strong, so I...

    Many of you may have seen my earlier thread "Unique Countertop Commission" that described a beautiful solid Bubinga countertop I built for a client here in Hendersonville. After the installation was completed, I gave the top a final coat of Rockhard Tabletop Varnish and snapped some final...

    BCT22 - Countertop with High Gloss Finish

    The final coat of Rockhard Tabletop Varnish with its high gloss look. While it looks great, the surface was contaminated with small bits of hardened varnish from a less-than-clean brush. And the customer decided they wanted a satin finish versus this high gloss.

    Tinting WB varnish

    I have a project coming up to re-spray our dining room table. I was going to use Target coatings WB conversion varnish. This table has a middle leaf that has not been exposed to the sun as much as the outer leaves and is therefore darker. I had thought of tinting the varnish with these UTC's to...

    Buffing out a varnish finish

    Has anyone used an buffing machine and auto polishing compound to get the dust nibs out of a varnish finish? If so could you explain the technique you used. example: Did you use water to keep the polish from drying before you got everything smoothed out.
