Hi All,announce1
Allow me to pass on some critical information about using varnish. For those that are using styrofoam of any kind to construct thier layout rather it be mountain forms or bench work foam. The point of my thread is this: I was applying polyurathane better known as varnish to my "harbour" for the water effect. It practically melted the styrofoam.
My suggestion to anyone that wants to use it to make VERY certain that you have a layer of plaster or good quality paint between the varnish and the foam.
As for my situation, I was able to "dam" the varnish from the troubled location and apply a thin coat of plaster to the area.
Just a kind word of advice!
Happy railroading everyone!!!
