: Ken: I will repeat my experiences many years ago with marine spar varnish and
: one part polyurethane. I use the spar varnish on the deck of my racing
: boat and in five years it was a varnish disaster and looked like H. Years
: later I built a sail boat and I used a one part polyurethane on the mast,
: seats and trim. I sold it ten years later and the polyurethane was still
: in good condition. So, now I have a can of polyurethane ready to apply
: when I get to that stage. I don't have any good reasons for this but it
: has influenced my thinking.

: John Thanks John and Ken maybe we can get something going and learn soomthing here. Russ
