Hi Mark,That was a very interesting tread, I have heard about wipe on's but never tried them basically because of the necessity of getting enough varnish on the surface for UV protection.
I use a foam brush and Nick's method (with the strips/against the strips/with the strips) and I get a fairly good deck BUT my sides are always wrinkly,I wonder if there is some literature on this that I can obtain or perhaps your suggestion. Thanks, Nick R.
