Not sure how many have actually used system 3 varnish. It is NOT the same as regular varnish! If you use the crosslinker in each coat, you have to recoat sooner than if you don't. I used system 3 on two of my boats, and regular varnish on one. The beauty of system 3 is that you don't have to sand between coats. (unless you get a bug,run or goof) It's non toxic and I have found it to be more durable too. Be sure to wait the 2 wks before puttin' 'em in the water.

p.s. when the little one gets a bit bigger maybe you'll be ready to try another one? maybe a sea flea? Enjoy :)
