: Hi jason,

: Thanks for the info. For fixing scratches it works great! I have a boat I'm
: going to try it on soon and will let you know what happens. Maybe a couple
: of coats with a brush and then do the final with a rag to avoid runs. Call
: me the hippie drippy varnish man but I can't seem to put a coat on with a
: brush and not get a run.

After I put my varnish on with a roller, I tip it out. When tipping out, make sure to sqeeze out the brush every few minutes, maybe 10-15 times total for the hull and the sme amount for the deck, and this prevents excess varnish build up causing runs.

My first boat I didn't sqeeze the brush out and ity ran especially near the cockpit. On the second where I use the above technique, its not running at all.

Yahoo!!

PS. I may go with a rag for the final coat application.
