: There's a reason why people don't spray varnish. Unless you own (or have
: access to) a professional spray booth with explosion-proof lighting, fans

: and the correct respirators you shouldn't be spraying varnish or any other
: solvent based finish. Health-wise it's bad for you, those around you and
: the environment. In fact it may be illegal where you live. Sorry. You can
: spray waterborne stuff though. Though in my experience the waterborne
: stuff doesn't perform as well as the solvent based finishes. They're
: getting better but still not up to par. Too soft. Easiest just to varnish
: with a foam brush.
