I Like the dipping idea too. But if the desire to
have bare wood for gluing is there then simply
cover those areas with a bit of masking tape.
Remove that after taking the rib from the tank.
Spar varnish is more than UVinhibitors. That's
a modern idea. Traditionaly this varnish was
formulated to be highly reflective. You brushed
it on and left it bright. Until it dulled and began
to lose the shine, it deflected the rays away.

I do believe some very old varnishes eventually oxidize to the point they
flake off, just like the paint on old machines.

No apologies. I remembered that you were going to your parents and would be
busy. Hope the trip wasn't too bad.
Yes, let's talk at Easter. Give your family my love. Hope things slow down
a bit so you get some rest.
