:Thanks for the good information. I checked out both links and read the tech data. I have used system 3 epoxy products. They have good product support.

This looks like a good option to Varnish. I varnished my first boat and it was a very lengthy process that I did not enjoy. I found the set up time so fast on the varnish that (with my skills) drips & runs were almost unavoidable. Did you find that the same is true with this stuff? It sounds like sanding between coats is not needed? Did you find this to be true? Any fumes from this product? Do you have an idea of how much is needed need to cover one 17' yak? How many coats to get good UV filter?

sorry for all the questions, but I am about half way done with my second boat and this may be the UV protection option I am looking for.
I am never varnishing again!

It's sold by the quart, and the gallon, only direct from System 3. I paid
: $103 for a gallon including delivery.
