: I just epoxy the tips and have no problem using a satin varnish. I
: like the look of the satin finish. Most of the commercial paddle
: makers use a gloss which can increase the likelyhood of blisters
: and makes the paddle look plastic coated - but to each their
: own.

Also most people don't leave their paddles out in the sun unless they are using them. The UV damage should be relatively minor I'd think.
