In Response To: Winter Varnishing (BruceK)

: Has anyone varnished their boat in the winter? Our local temperatures are
: running in the 40's at night and in the 60's during the daytime, with
: moderate humidity (for Florida). Other than a slightly longer drying time,
: is there anything I should look out for when varnishing in these
: temperatures? I am planning to use Flagship over System Three epoxy, as
: recommended by the Pygmy folks. Thank you.

Hi,

I used that same combo in around the same temps. Add 50% to the drying time for each coat. Other than that I had no problems.
