: By the way, since there's no Zar around here, I went with Cabot
: Marine Spar Varnish on the re-skin of my Black Pearl last
: weekend. Mixed with lamp black artist paint. Very nice to apply,
: but the FUMES! Good grief. I guess Zar is low odor. I had to
: evacuate the shop and open the bay doors and windows and turn on
: a fan. Good grief. I think it made as good a coating as Zar
: though... the can specifically mentioned flexibility as a cured
: property... in relation to the expansion and contraction of wood
: though. I doubt Zar is the one and only choice of all the Polys
: as it sometimes seems to be.

: May be that poly + paint on nylon is the equal of oil paint on
: polyester. And probably, since I guess, oil paint + polyurethane
: is probably about the same thing as oil paint in a can anyhow,
: one could probably just use Rustoleum on nylon and be fine. But
: by the time I get to that stage, it's too much of a gamble, I
: just want to paddle.

Just a thought on the fumes, respirators are cheap. I picked up a 3M one for about 12 bucks, and the organic vapor cartridges are about the same price. Get it fitted properly and presto no fumes. I kinda miss the hallucinations though..
