Help!!! I'm in the final stages of finishing a wood duck double and I'm frustrated with the varnish I'm using. The first two coats (brushed on) I've applied went well until about 1hr of drying time the finish wrinkled on me in some spots. I sanded as instructed by manufacture and the 3rd and 4th coats I sprayed on with similar results,1hr of drying time the finish wrinkled worst. The first coat coats I applied indoors the 3rd and 4th coats were applied outside in the covered patio. I know living in south Florida does not help but the first coats applied were done indoors in climate control environment. Has anyone encountered this problem? I'm using Interlux Schooner varnish. Thanks for your help.
