: I figured I'd pop back in and post an update.
: We started the varnishing process on one of the kayaks (we really move slow,
: by the way). Started with my wife's hull, and laid down one coat. Waited
: about 12 hours, and she put down a second coat, and was well into the
: process when she realized that the first coat was still a little tacky. So
: she finished it out, but then we had to wait about 3 days for everything
: to cure. But cure it did. Then wet scotch-brite before application of the
: third coat, and the hull looks magnificent, if I may say so myself.
: Definitely the way to go.
: Right now, trying to get time to do the deck. Hopefully this week. Then it
: will be on to sanding my boat to get it varnished.

: I hate to say this, but the varnishing process is almost the best part so
: far. Maybe it is just because we're so close to actually being FINISHED
: ... for at least a few years.....

For some people, me included btw, varnishing is actually fun
