I bought some Cabot's Spar Varnish yesterday thinking I could make a nice oil/varnish blend for a current project. I opened it up, and it STUNK like never before. Examination of the label showed no change in formulation.
It smells exactly like PCBTF, which I believe is what's in the new Waterlox Original VOC compliant formulation.
Besides the odor, it does NOT apply well at all, and I'm wiping.
I confirmed online that they do indeed offer two formulations that have different voc content.
I'm unsure why they needed to do that.
