Going to see tomorrow if I can salvage my brushes, rollers, paint pans, and bowl to save some $.

Will also be washing the bar and sanding if it dries quick enough. Then Torching if I have time.

Getting there.

Your going to be fine, even if you totally mess up the first coat learning just lightly sand ad re do it the next day and it will be fine.

I got a pack of those foam rollers, once the varnish is on it you can't really clean them, use a new one for each coat, there cheap. I was able to clean the brush, I just used an old glass pan we had to mix the varnish and mineral spirits, after a coat on the bar I just flipped it over and let it dry, it was hard as a rock the next day to reuse.

Get a good size container of mineral spirits, I think we got a 2 gallon, you need it to clean you hands, brushes and to use as thinner, it's usually cheaper per gallon in 2 gallon the container.

Your going to be fine, just remember it all dries fast so don't play around......you will see.
