Fiberglass Cloth/Resin repair work on Wood in the Cockpit. The Wood looks great and would like to have a Clear Finish instead of Paint. What is the success of Satin Polyurethane Varnish on Raw Clear Fiberglass :confused:
Will this work for intermittant underwater use of Rudder and Centerboard on the other Mini Sailboat Flotilla ?

Use a gloss poly/varnish with UV protection to build thickness and then apply the last coat as satin. Satin has pigments that can cloud the finish and will accumulate in successive coats.

I see no problem using intermittently in water.

Resin on Wood

Thank you Tim. What is up with the Weird little streaks I am getting when I apply Epoxy Resin directly to Hardwood Mahogany? I am sanded down to 220and Tacked Off with Acetone :cool:
