+x JasonFL - 5/23/2019 11:40:45 AMCheck 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.
