: After one year, I want to do a little refinish to my Endeavour, particularly
: the hull, which has many scratches. The original finish is several coats
: of Epiphane varnish. I feel that this finish may not be the most
: abrasive-resistant, and it has the disadvantage that it should not be
: applied in the cool/cold temperatures of my unheated garage. I am
: considering recoating with clear urethane (after a light 220 sanding) Any
: comments or cautions? Does anyone have any experience with Bristol Finish?
: This is a very expensive 3-part acrylic urethane, traditional amber, said
: to be very tough, UV resistant, and can be applied at freezing
: temperatures. It is apparently fully compatible over sound varnish.

My brother's company uses Bristol exclusively on their brightwork. I don't know that they've done any hand application. They have a spray booth and use HVLP.
