The Bureau of Standards measured varnish hardness on samples on days two to seven under varying humidity. A spar varnish with two days dry showed 0.00 hardness at 50 percent humidity. At four days humidity reached 60 percent with a small factor, at six days 80 percent humidity dropped the hardness to 0.210, and at seven days 50 percent humidity yielded 0.447. The sharp drop at six days highlights humidity’s significant effect.
