In Response To: Re: Material: Which varnish? (Mike A)

: Thanks for the info. One more question if I may, do you roll, brush or spray
: the finish?

For big surfaces, like a whole kayak, I roll and tip the varnish. Need to use care as it's very easy to put too much varnish on the surface then you get lots of runs. It works with Captain's varnish, havn't tried other brands, you'll get micro-bubbles that disolve with that varnish done this way.
