One of my Project Managers pulled that on me after the Ohio State/ Florida game last year. Since I am a Gator fan, his glaucoma day was granted.

Seed tick may have nailed it with the amine blush. When I did my first boat, both the varnish and paint would not dry up. And I remember i did not wash off the blush. On my second boat, I was sure to was the boat down before I varnished it, and it (the varnish) dried very well. Now...
