Fine job! Thank you.

Loved how methodical you were on this stage of the testing. Wish the long term testing results were available.

The music is pretty great, but I have a Bluetooth radio, bluetooth headphones, an iTunes account and a stereo. Your work is fantastic, don’t cover it up with music. Talk about the wood options, the grain direction, the adhesives, the stains, the varnish etc etc. how you do all the things!

Where are the results??? What a lost opportunity.

Thank you for Info 😊

Quick question between epifanes and mano war which is the best speaking about durable?

When can we see that beautiful boat behind you?🤨

Great test I’m with you on total boat finished out nice and pretty tough.

I thought you added thinner to the varnish when temps were colder, not warmer.

Can oil based varnish be applied with synthetic bristle brush or it has to be only natural bristle brush?

positive Finishing Techniques.. I may try Bright Lamps for Drying ... or FIRE 🔥 Dry

coat 7?? you applied 7 times?

What type of wood did you use

Good looking oars, how much do they cost ?

Thank you. Can I ask which varnish has tung Oil in it and would you choose it for a place in Caribbean where it’s hot rainy and a lot of salt in the air. Very close to ocean this would be on a newly 8 month old railings. And a Mahogany Door.

Total Boat is my way to go. I was using epoxy for the first time and their customer service was outstanding. I then followed up with a varnish finish and once again their communication with me was great. So far my outside counter top is holding up nicely in the sun and rain so I highly recommend Total Boat.

Hi!! I hope you don't mind for my question.. i have a 1/2 inch plywood 12"x 20" so i painted all black with enamels (oil based) and then i painted some letters with fancy letters on top of it red and yellow on top of the black,so my question Is which varnish or clear coat can be used to protect the sign because i want it for outdoors!! Thanks!!

Would you consider Cetol in your testing?

What ever happened to the followup video to this with the pieces left outside and in buckets of water?

Thank You for your help I'm looking for a good varnish to protect my terrace and your movie helped a lot

Are there non toxic finishes just as durable? NOT what the FDA claims is safe. I do not think any plastic is actually non toxic. What is claimed as food safe is just what the FDA says; they lie, a lot! I use varnish on some things, but I wish for better safer finishes.

Curious if youve got the updated results. Thanks for the test.

Rustoleum Spar Varnish ?

Question: Can I apply a second coat of varnish without sanding if I apply the second coat before the first dries? I want a varnishanon-flat surface where sanding is impossible

Is there more to see somewhere?

I really like the way things are looking. You’re doing an amazing job. Keep up the good work. Will you be posting anymore videos? Thanks for sharing.

Well there's 5 minutes I'll never get back. I guess I missed the commentary after you started but couldn't miss the music. Guess I won't want to hear any bells ring and no thumbs up

I'm not sure why we can't see the results of the test since it's been 3 years.

That boat behind you is GORGEOUS!

Enjoyed video, helped me make my decision for my next project.

Do you have a video on polishing varnish?

Great info. Thank you

Beautiful work!

Brilliant advice on how to thin varnish!!!

Polyurethane varnishes are tougher and more scratch resistant than all those varnishes. Just one problem- they avoid making marine varnishes from polyurethane for the very reason that they are so hard and thus brittle. Marine varnishes need to be FLEXIBLE and thus softer than indoor varnishes. They need to expand and contract and not let go. The tests you did were not really marine varnish tests. Flexing and gloss retention would be the proper test, plus heat and cold cycle tests on a wood that is known for expanding and contracting.

Is varsol mineral spirits?

Great Video! Can Smoothie be used with Lust?

Thanks! Great test!

Thanks for the information! Is there ever a coat that is 100% varnish without thinner? And question #2: What sanding grit coarseness do you recommend as your moving from bare wood to the last coat?

Brilliant video. Straight to the point & easy to follow. thx

Wow, those came out great! Good job.

Can you tell me please if i can find tinted varnish brown color???

Beautiful oars, very short (I'm sure that is for good reason), skillfully made. Fair play to you.

I am buying a new cedar strip 14ft boat.would total lust flash off too quickly to use has a recoat product.for the area to be covered?would you recomend a nother product?l like the fact that l can apply more coats without sanding but is the area too large.would apply with roller and tip off.

I used a sprayer for varnish yesterday and it seems to have ruined everything. It doesn't seem to atomise well, it left a very rough surface. Is oil based varnish meant to be applied only with brush?

Great video! When applying multiple coats of varnish, can 1 coat per day be applied for 4 days before sanding? In other words, is it ok to "hot coat" varnish without sanding. I plan on sanding flat every 4 coats with a total of 15 or so.

Varnishing with spar on a long thin tiller off a dingy, having problems getting both sides to blend into each other. Applying urethane one side at a time, tried hanging it but to light and became difficult. Any ideas to make it easier would be appreciated.

What kind of wood did you use.

Just curious since it's two years after the original upload what the results were of the follow-up testing. Even if you don't end up doing a video, just curious which products ended up doing the best? Thank you!
