In Response To: Varnish or Urethane which is best??? (Hank)

Some time back I used Varathane Gloss over an epoxy project. The varathane never completely dried. It's an incompatiblity issue between epoxy and some polyurathanes. You definitely want to do samples of polyuarthane on epoxy. I prefer a high gloss finish, and feel the polyurathanes don't match the gloss of quality varnishes. Well that's my 2 cents worth, hope it helps. Jerry
