In Response To: Did I use enough? (Tom Davies)
: I purchased a quart of Captains varnish and applied 3 coats to the hull and 5
: coats to the deck of my Osprey Double. I still have about a quarter of the
: can left. Did I put the varnish on too thin? I only thinned the final coat
: and I didn't thin it very much. I am concerned about having enough UV
: protection.
: Thanks, Tom
I used 2 qts. on my Chessie 18. Are you sure that you got a qt and not a gallon? I was only able to get 3 coats on the deck and 3 on the hull out of mine.
