      Do you find it shows up every imperfection?

      @@gsp Not really mate , it keeps rust at bay for a while though, I do use chemicals to speed up rusting if customer wants it rusting , yacht varnish covers this really well and leaves a nice texture too.

      I might try to put it on a little thicker next time and experiment a little

    Wonderful work! I found on UA-cam a guy mixing the paint (colour) on varnish. I didn’t try that but it seems a good idea

      That could work too! I'll have to look into that👍

      When vehicle spraying, we very often mix some of the base coat in with the lacquer top coat to leave a nice opaque final gloss.

    Just subscribed , awesome channel.
    How is the hempel varnish holding up mate?
    I have 2 used ( and lighty scuffed) zipplex rods....do you think a light sand and a coat of hempel's wil make them shine again?
    I am a bit scared to begin the restauration because i don't want to damage the rods 😅
    Have build some smaller spinning rods but never painted or coated a complete blank.
    Grtz nick.

      Cheers Nick👍 I really like the hempel varnish and it has held up as well as bondaseal or anything else I've ever used👍 the drying time is just a bit longer. Just make sure the blank is completely clean and it should be fine👍
