Hi everyone,

I am leaving a few nice pieces of natural grain exposed in my new build.  I put a coat of West System 105/206 epoxy to seal the timber, let it cure for a week, sanded and wiped it down with water, then put a coat of varnish over it.

After 3 days some areas of the varnish are very slightly tacky.  Summer is over and the weather is cool (for us) like 16 degrees C at night and a bit overcast and showery but the boat is indoors.

Is this a compatibility issue?  Or to be expected when the temperature is low the humidity is high?
