That Old Sinkin' Feeling

[Minh Thong]

Good information, thanks Michael, et al. I first read about varnishing immediately in David Leffel's painting text. And according to people who have worked with him, he prefers varnishing as soon as the paint is touch-dry, possibly even still tacky. He says the varnish dries along with the paint. This sounded logical to me as I have always assumed the issue was drying/cracking.

However, I now see there is still a trade-off. Isn't there always?

Thanks again!
