Yacht Varnish

HI-
I'm currently commissioned to do a public art piece where I will be hanging 5, 5-ft long paper mache whales from tall trees. Is yacht varnish the way to go? Should I do anything differently in the paper macheing process?
Thanks,
Virginia

Re: Yacht Varnish

Marine varnish is the most waterproof thing we've found, so far!

You'll have to apply several coats, and MAKE SURE you don't leave any uncovered gaps, no matter how small.  If there's a hole or crack where moisture can enter, it will.

It sounds like a great project.  Post here if you set up a gallery to show your work, so we can all have a look!

Welcome to the board, and when you have a bit of time, tell us how you made them.
