varnish curing time
varnish curing time
Hey folks, I put the last coat of varnish on my new paddle yesterday, a friend of mine sprayed it on with a sprayer he uses for cars and car parts. I would like to know what the recommended curing time is for epiphanes varnish? How long should i let it cure for before using it? I will post some pictures soon after it is done.

Patrick, I'm not sure if your original post was for real. Did you "really" spray Epifanes on your instrument? If so, did your friend have any trouble thinning it so it would spray properly? The Epifanes I received when I mail ordered it, was like jello. Altho I was able to thin it sufficiently for brushing, I would never have thought you could spray that stuff. Maybe I had a bad batch, by the time I got near the bottom of the second quart, it was no longer useable it was so jelled.
The music was nice, Is that you or Dad playing. The tone was great.
And Hoz, I could hear that Cajun yell all the way out here. You make good music too!

Wayne, the fiddle playing was Patrick. I just grabbed his cable while he was playing and recorded a tune (which he wrote BTW) on my computer. I don't have a musical bone in my body. I can't even tap my feet in time to a tune.
RE: your question on spraying Epifanes, he indeed did spray it on for the final 2 coats of the fiddle. Epifanes makes both a brush and a spray thinner for their varnish. The spray thinner dries/evaporates faster (allowing for a recoat sooner I guess).
