: I don't have any information on a "granta playwood kayck." Sorry.
: Never heard of Granta.

: If the kayak just has scratches in the varnish layer, all you have to do is
: sand the varnish with some medium or fine sandpaper, clean the dust off,
: and apply a new coat or two of varnish. This sanding is just to help the
: new coat of varnish to stick to the old coat, so it should be done to the
: entire kayak, not just the problem areas. Polyurethane would probably work
: fine too.

if your just looking to finish the boat for display littely wet sand the entire hull with 600 sand paper then you could poly/or varnish. dont use the poly if you ever plan on paddeling the boat
