How to apply varnish


Once the two-part varnish is mixed, poured into a clean container and mixed again it is left to sit until the floors are prepped. This includes wiping down the surface with another smelly solvent, drying them with a clean rag then using a tack cloth to make sure no lint is left behind. At this point the varnish can be applied and left to dry overnight. In this photo you can tell that the shower cap is actually hiding electric rollers (perhaps I should kill my spouse for this pic) as I was multitasking as usual. I have set up two sets of saw horses with 2 by 4's screwed to the tops for a varnish platform. At this point I am 90% done with the floor varnish project (Whew!)
