: Hello Spidey,

: With all due respect, why are you messing with polyester resin? Relative to
: epoxy it has very poor adherance to wood and is not nearly as water
: resistant.

Spidey,

The boat looks great! I guess some people don't realize that you are using the polyester only as a finish coat (over the epoxy/glass). Sounds like a wonderful alternative to varnish. Can't wait to come back from a 2 week business trip to see the final product...perhaps I'll incorporate your materials/techniques in whatever I build this winter. Thanks again for experimenting, as I often don't have the **lls to try something different, other than using aerospace epoxy paint on my boat ( and testing the biological effects of strontium chromate exposure)!
