 Varnishing and Weather Conditions
by: Cheryl

Hi Barbara,
Unless you're varnishing outdoors and are exposed to the falling snow, yes you can varnish.

Your question raises a good point. Does the weather affect varnish. Yes. In the cold and damp it may take much longer for varnish to dry and cure. While very hot and dry conditions will make the varnish dry much faster.

I hope this helps.

 Varnish

Which brand varnish to you recommend to use on a tray. I have painted in oils over a latex base background. I am looking for a satin based varnish and don't know if I can use a latex varnish over oils. Thank you
