You guys should try the product "Electraglide" rather than the varnish. It is
a non-toxic, UV safe coating designed especially for aluminum. It increases
the radiating efficiency by decreasing the surface electron resistance to
motion. It maintains the shine of your aluminum and works for both flat side
and the straight up antennas. It is marketed by Jo Gunn.
