If you dont get that varnish on there, the epoxy will cloud and degrade, and you'll have to sand it all down and start over.

Of course, that takes time...

: Forgive me father Nick for I have sinned.
: I have cast my boat upon the waters twice, yea thrice thus without having
: completith the vessel.

: The first, the sin of impatience, not having the fortitude to apply yet
: another layer of epoxy on a seaworthy vessel on such a fine and sunny
: day.....Twice.

: The second and more grevious sin the following day came, to my shame, not
: because of the abundant sunshine but having tasted of the pleasures
: manifesting themselves in fine tracking and effortless turning, I, to my
: shame, was overcome by the water, wind and waves and lack of family
: present to hold me fast, I threw myself forthwith into the sin with great
: exuberance and a large measure of grinning and a little maniacal laughter.
: I ventured much further, though not far from the bank of safety having not
: yet completed the bulkheads and yea not even a sprayskirt to gird my
: loins.
: I found it much harder to turn myself back at the appointed hour and fear
: that if, once again I am to succomb to evil, I may never finish the
: endpours and endure the neverending varnishing.

: I ask your mercy on my weakness and promise to honor the designer of my craft
: by pushing ahead yea even to the final steps listed in the great book that
: has brought me so far. :)
