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. Clif Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first I do believe some very old varnishes eventually oxidize to the point they flake off, just like the paint on old machines. > > Varnish being spar or not shouldn't have anything to do with it's ability > to hold either, spar varnish means that it's got UV inhibitors is all. > > I like the idea of dipping the ribs because of the difficulty of ensuring > you've painted all the surfaces.

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.
