In Response To: Strip: Colour free epoxy and varnish (Les Cheeseman)

Hi Les,
I have only used 105/207 West System.It must have considerable UV inhibition as it is.I have "tested" it with three summers in New Zealand where UV is very high under our sun with little apparent problems.
I got lazy with "Offcut" and did not varnish her.The honey colored Cedar has darkened considerably but the coating,on the deck, seems all good.
Offcut is the far one. Taka has had a sheltered life,oh,& the pile of old cedar beams, purlins and rafters is slowly being converted into kayaks....Am I in trouble!
cheers, from Paul.
