Man, this is an old post from last year. I never got around to publishing it until now. It’s an interesting note about my varnishing process and the musty old frame I found.

8 coats of varnish. Here’s my varnish schedule!

1-21-08, 9am - 1st coat
1-21-08, 12:40pm - 2nd
1-21-08, 4pm - 3rd
1-21-08, 9pm - 4th
1-22-08, 9pm - 5th
1-23-08, 8am - 6th
1-24-08, 7am - 7th
1-26-08, 2:30pm - 8th

And that’s when I ran out of my varnish mix. I could have mixed some more, but I was satisfied with the wet glossiness by this time.

I found an authentically crusty old frame from the flea market. It had a reprint of a photo of Confederate Army Leadership in it when I bought it.
