Ditto to using the 207 for clear coating. It's MUCH better for anything that you're going to "bright finish." Note of caution: Be certain not to use the correct metering pumps. As I recall, the 207 uses a 3:1 ration of resin to hardner rather than the 5:1 used by the 205/206....

I used the 205/206 on my first boat and got a few "cloudy" patches here and there (mostly noticeably by me). Some of the cloudiness can be attributed to my "newbie" technique and initally using a foam brush.

Good luck.
