Which Sealer?

: Marianna: I recommend a good acrylic latex exterior house paint. I used it
: over 3.7 oz Dacron in my recent Putz/Skene 18.5 ft boat and it looks and
: performs very well. I used a sealer and UV filter under the latex

I'm wondering which sealer and UV filter you used, how many coats, etc. I am currently building a Putz-style kayak and am considering 3.7 oz dacron. There seem to be a lot of different sealer/UV systems available, and each claims to be the best.

Thanks,

Ken
