Hi,
I am looking for advice on using old varnish. I built a Prospector canoe about 3 years ago and had some Pettit Flagship 2015 varnish left over. I sealed it in a canning Jar about 1/2 Quart. and since I am about to put the finish on my MC-13 deck only. I thought I might save some money and use this. It appears to be in good shape. After taking a thin skin off and adding a little thinner and straining it. It looks and smells good. Viscosity seems about right for brushing but I might use my HVLP spray gun.
Please let me know if you think I should dump this and buy fresh. Thanks, Dana P.

Go for it. Worse comes to worse, you can always sand it off and try again. Best bet is to try it on a piece of scrap & see what happens.
Good luck,
Laszlo
