In Response To: Other: Best clear varnish (martin sarocky)

: Hi everybody, I need help. I need to varnish my kayak what has some white
: painted strips and most varnishes what I have used until now have amber
: color even if they say clear. I used Z spar flagship until now but I need
: some super clear varnish for outside that doesn't make white color
: yellowish.
: HELP!!!!

: Thanks.

Btw, if this is done like a mahogany runabout, the white paint strips are normally applied on top of the varnish. No matter what varnish you apply over the paint will color it somewhat.

Might look at System 3's water based varnish, it's I think supposed to be water clear. I've not used it though.
