: I always get everything backward. When I started in this business,
: I built and launched in a frenzied rush, and was extremely
: casual with handling, care and maintenance. As time goes by I
: take more and more time in building, treat my boats with
: increasing care, and even find myself rinsing and wiping them
: down now. Oh well, I feel like I have a better handle than most
: on what these boats can take, since I have abused them almost to
: the point of destruction and otherwise answered a lot of
: questions the hard way.

: Yes, I make my own paddles. Thanks for the compliment, they sure
: work for me!

I'm curious what 'product' you favor - varnish, or polyurethane?
