In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: Sealer (Bob Kelim)

: I'm about to finish with the frame of my next boat and should get it skinned
: next week. I was wondering if anyone has recomendations as to which water
: borne urethane to use to seal the skin? Thanks,

Don't use water-based urethane: use oil-based. Bill Low recommended Zar Satin Urethane and it worked well for me. At $24/gallon, Zar is a pretty good deal, too. Any exterior urethane should work OK, but I haven't tried any others, so I can't give you any comparison data.
