: I'm thinkin' that I wasn't too clear in my question. The kayaks are wet
: sanded to 240 grit and when dry I noticed that weave is showing in some of
: the tape areas. When you get it wet with water it disappears. Will it do
: the same with varnish? (I am going to use System Three)

Hi Roger,
If the weave of the glass is exposed, put more epoxy on it. Varnish won't seal the glass as well as epoxy.
