Hi all,
Just about halfway through this one (this is the 9th of Ron's great kits that I've done), hull painted and decking complete.
Time to varnish the decks, I made a sample piece to try first before committing to do the decks - I used Vallejo gloss polyurethane varnish, it gave the desired finish but darkened the planking.
Now I didn't use the planking that came with it I bought 2mm Walnut strips (planked-.5mm rigging thread for caulking-planked and so on).
Now I'm thinking should I sanding seal first and try again on sample piece or can anyone suggest a varnish that will not darken when applied please.
Many Thanks.
