Hi David;

There was a thread on this a few months back when I first toured the surfboard shop. Apparently polyester resin will mechanically bond to epoxy at least as well as varnish does. They have been using it successfully for years, and their boards take a lot of abuse. Some of their more expensive boards had what looked like at least 1/8" of clear buildup - Polished like a mirror and looked great - Although probably a bit on the heavy side.

Best Regards, Spidey
