: I can see the good in it. I just didn't like the idea of masking
: and mess potential, if it was not necessary.

What masking? I varnish the skin and the coaming at the same time. It also helps to seal the holes in the coaming if you're coating it from both sides. If you're using paint on the skin, you can still coat the inside of the coaming with clear varnish.

: And, it's good to have some bare cloth to point out, when people ask about it.

Then carry a scrap in your PFD pocket. ;-)
