: Hello All,
: Does Marine varnish dry in the carage where I will be applying it, or does it
: have to be rolled out into the sun. I built a strip canoe about five years
: ago and it would not dry until I put the boat outside and let the sun dry
: it.

I use Detco and it dries fine in the garage ... hot of cold.

I wonder if your experience was on the first coat, which dries slowley ... or an epoxy/varnish compatibility problem.
