now in the process of varnishing the kayak. using epifhanes varnish thinned out to 25% as per the can and now on 3rd coat. looks great except for some very tiny bubbles in finish. sanded to 600 grit between coats. temperature is 75 degrees. have I missed anything to get that perfect finish?
Is this only possible if one sprays it on?
