Varnish Bubbles

[chris]

I tried Bristol and can't stand the stuff. I went back to varnish. And now, I coat over my varnish with Imron MS1 clear. Its expensive but it lasts.

What brand of varnish are you using Imron clear over.
I have been using Awlwood, wouldn't mind trying this.

Epiphanes.

I build with that until I get it nice and smooth. Then I put two coats of Imron over it.

Thanks
I'll test it over Awlwood

An old friend told me that you redo varnish before it needs to be redone.
He also removed the excess varnish from the brush in a separate container not back into the
full can.
Good Luck

The old coffee can with a wire across the top trick.

If you use 2 cans like breading chicken the bubbles don't get back to the first container until you finish.

Again, if you heat the varnish there will be no bubbles. Even when you drag the brush back into the can there are no bubbles. Try it you’ll like it.

Looks fantastic...... how long will it last. I actually got nice finishes with regular varnish but it was a
PITA to maintain since it didn't last long before requiring recoating or worse....

For me (on the West Coast) its proven to be much more durable than varnish. Weve done Mexican sun in the winter and the Calif delta (100-110deg many days) in the summers with hardly any change. Only reason we seem to re do is because of scratches or deep nicks that only I see! (Vs the Admiral, who says 'what scratches?' )

Where in California? I’m in the Delta. PM me I’d love to meet up with you. Not many of us here in Northern Cal.

I know it’s hot there but trust me you will love working with heated varnish.
