In Response To: Epoxy: Rice paper without fiberglass (miker)

: I want to apply a small rice paper graphic to a finished wood kayak (it's
: glassed and varnished). Can I apply it just using epoxy and varnish? or do
: I need to glass over it too?

: Thanks

I haven't done this, but I would say it doesn't need glass, just a sufficiently thick coat of epoxy and varnish over it to protect it from being scraped and from UV.
Make sure the ink you use doesn't fade too fast in sunlight. :-(
