Hey guys, thanks for all of the good responses.

Kono, it's my understanding that the gloss needs to penetrate all of the cracks. However, this tiki need not be worried 'cause he's not a full body tiki...

JT, I was mostly worried about igniting my garage. :o I'll just raise the garage door a few inches at night - should be okay.

Unga, I'll stick with the occasional martini, but by the smell of this stuff, I'm sure one could cop quite a respectable buzz if so inclined. :wink:

Cheeky & Benz, now I know my options - thanks! If I win the lotto I'll build a fully exhausted varnishing room. Till then, garage will do.

I'm confused with all of these product names. I asked the paint guy for Marine Varnish. He handed me a can of this stuff. When I got home I noticed it wasn't Marine Varnish & said "WHAT THE HELL"! Then I read the label, saw it had only a 6 hour dry time & said "ah, what the hell".

So, this stuff is spar urethane vs. marine varnish vs. polyurethane & I'm really not sure what the difference is. Went back to do some 220 grit sanding after 24 hours & turns out it's still a little tacky. So, I guess it takes 48 hours between coats after all whatever the label says.
