: Luke,

: I put 5 coats of minwax spar urethane on my kayak skinned with
: polyester from Jeff at Kudzucraft and it works great, filling in
: the weave well, using a foam brush to apply it. However as Jeff
: said, it can't hurt to thin it a bit.

: Have fun!

Any idea how long you had to wait between coats? Did you do the next coat as soon as the previous was tacky?
