hiJust a cheap......... errrr cost effective guy from Maine. Checked HD in Boise a week ago and varnish in a spray can was almost $9.00 USD per can. Would think it will take a lot of cans to do the wings. I know spraying with an "inexpensive " spray gun and a compressor would be a much more satisfying way foir me to do the job.Steve in Maine>From: "Dick Navratil" >Reply-To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com>To: >Subject: Pietenpol-List: varnishing>Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2007 16:17:43 -0500>>Just to clarify my post, spar varnish is available in spray cans at the >hardware store.>I was multi tasking on the computer last night, no, I didn't varnish it.>Dick N_________________________________________________________________Help yourself to FREE treats served up daily at the Messenger Caf.

SteveI'm with you on cost cutting, but for those very hard to get at places, it will save lots of time. I'll double check but I don't think I paid more than $5 per can and only used a couple of cans on those bad places.Dick----- Original Message -----

For what it's worth. I've never used them for varnish, but in the past I have done a lot of small painting jobs with an aircan and jar that you can buy at most hardware and automotive stores. The unit comes with an airfilled spray unit and a glass jar that can be refilled as many time as you wish. The air spray unit lasts a fairly long time (can't remember how many jar fulls). I once spray painted a 60' sailboat mast with one of these units. As I remember, they cost about $4.If anyone is interested, I can run one down and give you more info.Gene in Tennessee----- Original Message -----
