I am just finishing a Wee Lassie canoe built from pine to keep the cost low. I was thinking of staining the hull before laying the glass and epoxy. Can anyone offer any advice as to what type or brand of stain can be used. I will be using Raka epoxy with 350 hardner. This will be my first time using Raka epoxy too. I used Mertons on my last S&G with great results but wanted to try the Raka to compare results. Has anyone used the two? Are there any noticeable differences? Thanks in advance for any feedback. Don
