In Chris Kulczycki's book "The Kayak Shop" page 127 he says "I use Z-Spar's Captain's Varnish for 90 percent of my work. If I'm feeling bold, I might use Z-Spar's Flagship varnish on the final coats, since it builds a little thicker. However, I'd never use it as a first coat because it doesn't dry well over epoxy."
