Samples are laid up on white corian covered with clear packing tape. All have two layers of 3oz Cloth and two fill coats. In the center is Volan and on the right is Thayers 3 oz silane finish, which I assume is what people are used too. The Volan does impart a green hue compared to silane which is pretty clear.
What concerns me about the Volan is the crazing I got on the cedar. Never experienced this before. It's what could be the deal breaker. Any suggestions about what caused this greatly appreciated.
I thank you all for your input and suggestions with the Volan cloth.

Jim
