When spraying |W>lyttrelhane or varnish, reduce them about 20 percent with acetone (nol mineral spirits). Spray a VERY UCiHT mist coal onto the wood. It should NOT look wet. let it set up

for about 1(1 minutes so the acetone evaporates. Now spray a light wel coat over the partially set mist coat llie now tacky mist coat will help ihe slow drying oil varnish "hang" without sagging on vertical surfaces.
