In Response To: Strip: how much varnish? (Les Cheeseman)

Despite opinions otherwise, there is a reason to either varnish or urethane the inside of your kayak. Tiny pinhole leaks in the epoxy on the inside can let in water, eventually causing stains to develop in the wood over a long period of time. We've seen it happen.
