In Response To: Re: Tools: Spray varnish (Bill Hamm)

: It's tricky on a curved surface like a kayak, conventional
: varnishes have to be thinned so much to allow them to be sprayed
: that they tend to run really bad on vertical surfaces.

: Most of the people spraying clear are using automotive clearcoat
: finishes, much different than varnish.

: Bill H.

I only need a sprayer and I will have the equipment. But you guys talked me out of it. At most I would make a kayak every couple years or so. I will brush on.

thx
Kim
