I just used Interlux's Perfection Varnish on a canoe. Applied it with only a badger brush. In fact you have to apply it with a brush because it's pre-thinned. It was nice to apply. It does takes some practice. You know you're putting it on too thick when it starts to make sags.

The paint rolls/tips beautifully. In fact I just rolled a coat of black on a kayak this AM before work. The two-component LPU's are especially nasty if you try to spray them. Chuck full of isocyanates. Fine for rolling/brushing though.
