When I bought the cedar decking I knew I wanted to paint or stain so it's not an afterthought. But, I figured if I got a transparent lay-up and all was good then all the easier....I've read your article on glassing several times but obviously overlooked a lot. The cedar just sucked the 6 oz dry. More Mas next time. Staining, I know, is not my forte. Any thoughts on tinting varnish? Varnish I'm good at!

I'm going to research all the paints suggested. Thank you all.

Dan, beautiful work. If my Toyota wasn't grey I'd match the color. Hell, I still might.

Jim
