In Response To: Material: varnish brand (Quay Marshall)

: I am preparing to varnish my canoe. There seems to be a limited number of
: brands of varnish available localy. Has anyone had any experience with
: McCloskeys Man-O-War Spar Varnish? Thanks for any help.

I did, It was recomeded by a local sail boat guy. The only problem I had with it I have seen is a common one with other varnishes too, that is the 1/2 full can skinning over before it can be used. Some one on the builletin board said that if you spray some of that "Can of Air" duster in a can stuff for electronics cleaning that it displaces the oxygen and it dosn't set up. But I was done by the time that was posted.
