Le Tonkinois varnish
For those of you who have read my blog on varnishing this season. I want to add a couple of notes on how to get a hold of the varnish I use Le Tonkinois. You may try getting it from the Northwest Maritime Center 360-385-3628 in Port Townsend. They use it and sell it. I have found that it is easier and faster to get it from American Rope and Tar out of San Diego, CA. I have added a link to American Rope and Tar under Other in the link section of this Blog.
There are a few other things to remember about this varnish. You do not thin it down. No sanding between coats. Re-coat in 24 hours. Six coats recommended rather than three. It can be applied over any other varnish, provided you sand before the first coat of Le Tonkinois. One fun thing is it comes in a square or rectangle can so it is easy to store. Happy Varnishing 2016.
