: John,

: I've been using Flagship as well, and I've had to thin it more than
: recommended (with T-10) to eliminate sags. My first experimentation with
: foam brushes was dismal and I switched to a badger brush which is more
: rigid and allows you to spread the varnish more thinly than the foam
: brushes. It's a pain to clean, though, and I recently gave the foam
: brushes another shot. I found that the wooden-handled ones are much better
: than the ones with the plastic handle. I've had much better luck with them
: for varnishing. But I still have to thin the Flagship to 15-20%.

: Good luck,

: Ross

Ross:

Where can you mailorder the T-10? I would like to try this on the Merganser as its quickly approaching the varnish stage.

Thanks, Pete czerpak albany, ny
