I figure I will have sanded 18 times, put epoxy on 7 times, varnished 6 times and buffed it 3 times before I've finished. The 30 minute wax job is sounding like a walk in the park. Besides keeping up the shine, I may be able to keep up these new muscles I seem to have found.

Thanks Spidey,

: Hi Ian;

: Thanks for the link, it was informative. If I take John's formula of
: k=8/speed in knots, at 45 kts the critical surface smoothness is 0.17 mils
: . . . That's over 5 times smoother than gelcoat, definitely showing a need
: for wax on a powerboat. By the same thinking, the wax on a kayak paddled
: at 3mph will only make it look nice. I agree! ;-)
