: I recently got the bug to build a kayak so I jumped in and went for it. No
: plans or kit, used the Hulls program to generate the cad files and cut out
: the S&G parts. I now have it glassed and its ready for a top coat over the
: west systems epoxy. The kayak is actually coming out quite decent but I
: don't want to spend fifty dollars a quart for the "best" marine
: varnish. Any suggestions for a good product perhaps a little more cost
: effective (cheaper). How about polyurethanes versus varnish. Thanks in
: advance.
