Well THAT looks....interesting.

The joys of digging through old art supplies.
While there are some things that you can hoard for years with little problems, there are others that do not hold up so well. Paint is a good example, and generally common knowledge. You'd think that if you keep the cap on tightly that this would not be a problem.
And really, paint can last a good long while like that, depending on what the container itself is made out of and what kind of paint it is. I've been told that putting the cap back on with a layer of plastic wrap behind it also helps.
Varnish is much like paint.
However when it gets old, it doesn't dry up and burst the tube like a lot of paints. Nor does it separate into a watery slime with a semi-solid mass at the bottom.
Nope!
It sets up like super-snot.

I was going to varnish a table with it, but I think I may have to wait a little until I can get new varnish.
I think I shall keep the super-snot for a little bit longer, at least until I can find something to use it for. Perhaps use it like glue for things like tiles and other 3D stuff. I have this urge to sculpt something from it, but I'm pretty sure that it would not work as I would like it and just make a mess.
No matter how tempting it may be...

Expect more pictures/art/rants to be posted soon!
