: 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

On big surfaces it's the way I do it, easier to apply a consistant thickness of varnish that way. Btw, foam brushes make the tipping process easier, just use the tip and lightly. If you're filling the foam brush with varnish you're brushing too hard. And yes, the bubbles go away :)
