July 8, 201214 yr I love spraying Varathane brand Poly Oil Based, my favorite sheen, satin. Although I am moving away from spraying altogether soon, I am finding new ways to obtain that great finish with just wiping formulas.But occasionally I love to shoot it. My problem at times?When I am shooting finish on a piece, sometimes I get over spray on an area I just sprayed and it appears fogged up and rough, or sometimes I even get tiny spiderwebs.Anyone else have these issue? And if so, what do you do about it?ThanksJohn MorrisThe Patriot WoodworkerProud Supporter of Wounded Warrior Project and Homes For Our Troops
July 8, 201214 yr Author Thanks Charles. I was hoping though to not have to get to that point of sanding again, and again, and again! I am thinking maybe I need to thin it a bit more so it lays down better and not so think that it fogs? Just musing here.Charles Nicholls said: I never had a chance to do any varathane spray, but my stepfather did all the time, he used to get a lot of runs from overspray, He basically had to do lighter coats. When he did get overspray he used a very light sandpaper to get it out and spray again. I can't do varathane spray here except in the summer since the heater is gas operated ( I hate things that have an unexpected boom) LOL. If I had a good place outdoors to do it I would because I love the shine it gives.

July 8, 201214 yr I don't spray- hate the cleanup. I guess I could use rattle cans but brush/wipe on finishes have always seemed easier.Lew Kauffman-Wood Turners Forum HostTime traveler. Purveyor of the world's finest custom rolling pins!
July 8, 201214 yr Author That's the way I am starting to go Lew, since I did my first rocker and just wiped on the finish and wiped off, I am sold the ease. But occasionally I still need to fire up the sprayer!Lewis Kauffman said:I don't spray- hate the cleanup.
