: Thanks Bill, that helps a lot - the weight gain from epoxy was what I was
: worried about. I'll be varnishing my cross braces anyway, so can do the
: stringers too. I have to visit west marine - do you have any brand
: suggestions for a good varnish? I want to clear coat some steel angle
: brackets with it also (although I could just paint them, I suppose). Carl
