In Response To: Strip: finish question (kirk briggs)

: After I finish glassing my expedition single should I spray 2 part automotive
: urethane clear or just use varnish? I work in a bodyshop so I can hang and
: spay my kayak.Then bake it ,let it cool then it is done.Sonds so much
: easyer than varnish. Has anyone tried this and how does it work on a kayak
: and repair with wood?

Just want to make sure whatever you use offers some form of UV protection. Method of application doesn't matter so much, but do need to provide the epoxy with a shield from those solar waves.
