Might want to re-read what he wrote. He clearly wrote that you should use a FINGERNAIL POLISH BOTTLE FULL OF VARNISH...not use FINGERNAIL POLISH. No one is recommending any one use fingernail polish to touch up or fix anything... BTW, the fingernail polish bottles are perfect for touch ups, since they have a tiny brush in the cap.

The Pardey's mention in their writings that they carry a fingernail polish bottle (the kind with a built in brush) of varnish to fix any chips as they happen to prevent the total ruination of the finish.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
