I may consider using automotive clear on this one.

I just pulled both of my finished boats off their racks and took them outside to hose the winter dust off. I just realized the the amber Petit Captains varnish gives the bare carbon fiber a yellowish green tint. I didn't think the amber would come through so easily consider the mil thickness being applied.

Still looking at my options.

Anyone else noticed this when varnishing carbon fiber?
