I was working late in the shop and used what I had on the shelf....
My varnish is still tacky after 12 hours. The can says dry in 5 hours, usable in 8. What can I do to salvage my piece within the next 24 hours?
Material: MDO
Two coats of Zinsser Primer
3-4 coats of an acrylic paint called Gleam by Delta Ceramcoat
On other pieces I had used Helsmsman spray Spar Urethane to seal the Gleam from the elements (the pieces are going outside on a Christmas display). I got a great weatherproof coat from the spray, but ran out and decided to finish the last pieces with the Varnish I already had on hand. It's still very tacky to the touch almost 12 hours later.
Based on scheduling I must have a finish dry enough to install lights on the pieces by 4:30 tomorrow. (I have a boom truck already set to install the pieces on the roof of our church.)
Any ideas out there on what I need to do to salvage my project within my timeline?
Thanks for any suggestions.....
Hugh
