: I built an artic tern about 6 years ago. It has a few scratches, ok

: bring it back to it's original beauty! Suggestions

Chemically stripping the varnish will get it off fairly easily, specially if it's old, and won't hurt the epoxy. Then a light sanding and you can revarnish.

Sanding the varnish without hitting the glass can be tricky.
