In Response To: varnish over exposed cloth? (peter)
: I want to varnish S&G but,
: The last sanding of deck exposed some cloth patches,which disapears when wet
: with water is this a good indication of how the varnish will look?
: Or should i apply another layer of epoxy?
: thanks in advance,
: peter
Exposed glass will absorb varnish and reveal the cloth texture until you've applied 3+ varnish (brushed) coats.
I apply epoxy over feathered cloth and sand with 220 then varnish.
