I completed my cedar strip kayak 3 years ago. It was constructed with the west system eppoxy and the varnish i used unfortunatly i cant remember what product i used.I wasnt that happy with it it seemed to get quite cloudy looking after the first year... it looked great right after inatial application but now the look is like i say quite cloudy. My question is now that its time to sand down and fill in a few gouches and scrathes and re do the varnish I am not sure on a good choice for varnish. This time I have access to a spray booth so not sure if this method would be a good choice to use with the west system epoxy. I used a foam brush last time and would rather spray it if possable? Also what grits of sandpager and times between filling in scrapes with the resiin andd the final coat or coats of varnish? Thanks in advance for any sugesstions Wayne Bergman
