+xCheck out strip built canoe videos. Youll want to follow their instructions MINUS applying a fiberglass skin.It’s as easy as sealing the wood with a few layers of epoxy, sanding, then multiple layers of varnish. The reason I recommend watching the canoe videos is that their varnish finishing tips are valuable. Guillemot Kayaks on YouTube is likely your best resource for finishing varnish over epoxy.
Thankyou so much il check them out defo so it adheres well i guess so same otherway round too eg stain burl with my varniash thinned so colours even then epoxy and varnish off to watch kanooe vids lol
