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.
Share it.
