Reading the backs of varnish bottles can be very scary. Perhaps varnishes and paints have improved a great deal since the initial advice was given? I have a friend who has been known to travel for many miles to varnish a work after the six months is over ... all for free. I am not so sure that people are wanting to keep some of our paintings for a hundred years or more, and as you say - they could varnish them later. People want to buy NOW not in half a years time.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04827406619984534134noreply@blogger.com
