: The heading says it all, right?
: Getting ready to varnish kayak and started with hatches. Last
: night, wet sanded to 400 and wiped with lacquer thinner. Applied
: first coat and woke to a mirror finish. After work today, I wet
: sanded again to 400 and wiped off residue with lacquer thinner
: on same rag. Yes I even read the directions! I now know that
: special thinner 216 or 333 isn't lacquer thinner!!! It did do a
: beautiful job bubbling off my mirror finish, however...

: When you're finished laughing, could someone suggest an alternative
: solvent readily available for tack rags? I also have no luck
: with store bought tack rags. I think they leave a residue not
: compatable with varnish.

: Thanks for any advice, Jim

: And, in passing, I know lacquer is not varnish but I've used
: lacquer thinner for so many projects especially epoxy that I
: just reached for it without thinking...Excuses, excuses

Water, don't need more.
