: I was refering to the system three clear coat if that makes a differance

: River Rat
Hi I've used almost two gallons (on 5 boats) of clear coat, and I think it's the best. I use a foam roller, thin about 20% and can put on 5 coats in a day. There is very little odor, so I can varnish in the basement, where it is warm and clean. It is very hard, almost like automotive clearcoat, and glosses up nicely. I wouldn't use it over bare wood, just over epoxy, as the finish might crack over bare wood. No need to sand between coats, and the finish is ready to coat every 2 hours.
