I'm quite certain that my garage temperature was below 65 degrees when I varnished and it came out alright. I even had trouble with it thickening too much as i went along and having to thin it a bit to get it to spread well. If you have an electric/kerosene heater to bring the temp up a bit before you start so the wood is warmer then you should be fine - in my opinion (my disclaimer) ;>) Earl

: My frustration level is truly rising. Here it is almost mid-June and aside
: from a short hot spell in June (when we had a house full of company), our
: average temps are not not topping 60. I have been told that my garage
: should be at least 65 to do any varnishing; otherwise, it would never set
: up. The garage will heat up some if I open up the door, but then I get
: little white fuzzies that fly in and attach to the varnish. Suggestions or
: clarifications on the temperature issue would be appreciated. Nancy
