In Response To: Strip: Finish Question... (Dave ( of Calif.))

: Hi Guys...
: In finishing, I have never read about any one rolling
: on spar varnish, & tipping off with a brush. ( like epoxy.)
: Is there a problem with that?
: Anyone ever tried it?
: Anyone want to tell me there "disaster story" when they tried it?
: Dave

The surfaces of most varnishes "set" very quickly, so you don't have time to go over a coated surface without leaving brush marks. That's why you'll never read about doing what you suggested.
