: . . . Seriously think about what varnish/coating
: you plan to use on your canoe class. Most regular, one-component, marine
: varnishes (ie Captain's, Epifanes, Interlux, etc) require 6-10 coats which
: take 12-24 hours to cure. . .

The original plan was to send the boats off complete, but not fully varnished or painted. This is something the students would do at home, rather than paying to sit around waiting for the next coat to dry. They don't need any special tools or equipment for this step, and it is something they'll do regularly at home later on as part of upkeep and maintenance.
