Teacher Tip-Use Spray Varnish

12/10/2012

Take my advice and use a spray varnish if you are teaching a class.
It must be oil-based. You need to be certain of good ventilation; I generally spray the eggs out of doors, if it is not a humid day. Spray the top half first, then rotate on a drying board, to spray the bottom half.
You can see the set up below, as a student is checking to see if the eggs are dry...or need another coat of varnish.
