I have 6 coats of a varnish (P&L #38 Satin) on a rocking chair that I made from Hard rock maple. These 6 coats are over a water based dye (transtint). The formula I used was approximately 1/3 Varnish to 2/3 Mineral Spirits. I brushed in on as fast as I could and wiped it down immediately. It took about nine days to put on. I really like what I have now but there is a slight tackiness to it. There is very little sanding that I need to do.
I would like to put a final coat on with a bees wax added to the varnish.
Is this possible – do these two mix together?
Any suggestions.
