: Thanks for the input. I got both transoms taken care of with a
: scraper and just have the topmost planks left to fair the
: finish. It's actually not onerous work, and progresses rapidly.
: Good thing it's a tiny project. I totally agree now, there is no
: need to use so much epoxy. For the inside I will use a very thin
: coat as a sealer and paint on top. Learn something new every
: week!

: So, are all the perfect finishes on the s&g boats I see here
: due to cloth and a well squeegeed application?

: If someone has links to some epoxy finish how-to articles please
: post them up.

: A zero blush epoxy with built-in UV inhibitor would be awesome, eh?

: Thanks and Regards,

: Michael

West brand 105/207, zero blush with UV inhibitor, made to suit :)
