    I don't recall much difference in price. A pro account or waiting for a sale will get you about 30% off at SW's. I can't ever recall a sale at BM.

    Actually, ARS is not pre-thinned. It has the same solids content as other varnishes. It has lower viscosity because that's how it was formulated.

    Just paint the parts that show. The primer is more than enough for the unseen parts.

    Commercial cabinet manufacturers only prime/paint what shows. Plywood is stable stuff.
