Finishes: Wiping Varnish

In preparation for putting a varnish finish on some bookcases...I made a shop mix to create a wiping varnish that I could apply that would dry pretty quickly.

 

All items were purchased at local orange BORG.

1/2 cup spar varnish

Mineral spirits

1/2 cup

Boiled linseed oil

1/2 cup

Mixes into a pint jar.
