Title: Varnished plywood
Post by: turnipturned on October 26, 2021, 09:54:13 am: Hello,

Does anyone know what climbing walls use to varnish plywood. To get that gloss like finish, like at Last Sundance?

Thanks in advance.

Dan

I should've applied more coats. Yacht varnish seems extreme!

Thanks Paul, looks like this might do the trick.

Thanks, will bare that in mind for my future sailing ambitions!
