: Sounds like someone ought to invite the sales reps and tech people from some
: varnish makers to speak at a few wooden kayak get-togethers. Apparently
: they don't know how well their products perform in our applications. I'm
: sure they would like to hear some of the positive feedback, and perhaps
: they could pass along better information, or maybe get started on making a
: special formulation for the submerged parts of boats which don't spend all
: their lives in the water.

I'm sure they'd love the feedback but we're a pretty small market for them. I don't think they'd be willing to invest the time and materials for special kayak/canoe/day-sailer version. Their traditional products are naturally so much cheaper because they can sell them in the high volumes they get from the big-box stores and lumber yards.

Always a nice thought, though.
