As you start motoring ahead of course it turns to starboard until you get sufficient flow over the...

    Varnish going milky

    I had this exact same problem with this product a few years ago. It had occurred first when doing some floor hatch panels in controlled conditions at home, then in cool conditions on the boat. I discussed with Ronseal, rubbed down and reapplied in heated conditions on the boat - finish went...
