I will investigate Fablon and see if I can convince my boss to let me leave work early tomorrow so I can make it before it closes!

	Assuming its a single pack varnish then just lash some International Original on it and bung the a worklight on it. By touch dry in 4 hours. If its a 2 pack then your got more serious problem Id just leave it bare wood, it will dry out. If its wet for a few hours it wont do it any harm. Kev

	Hi, I am due to take my Europe down to the BUCS event in Plym this weekend however I am having varnish issues!! It is a wooden veneer over fibreglass construction, but the varnish has come off on one patch about 8 inches wide towards the bow. Apart from it looking scruffy, I am concerned about sailing when the bare wood is exposed. Does anyone have any advice on how to do an emergency repair? Even something temporary to stop any damage during the event. Bear in mind I still live in my student house so getting it in a shed isn't an option!!
