Hello Paul,

I use the West 207 as well, and I live in the tropics, but the instructions say you should still use a UV coating over it, so I always have. I use an automotive clearcoat if I want clear, and Goldspar if I want a golden natural glow. I actually like the Goldspar so much I use it often just for that golden glow.

Anyway, good to know it stands up on its own. I always wondered that.

Cheers,

I agree . I built two kayaks, the micro bootlegger tandem and the petrel concurrently . Both were made of the same batch of African Mahogany . The bootlegger spent some unvarnished time in the sun and the petrel was varnished promptly. The petrel is a much deeper hue. Both were glassed with RR uv resin.
