That's the one. I used epiphanes from west marine. put 8 coats on 5 years ago. Going to be touching up a few spots, but, all in all, it still looks great.

I vote for Cetol - first the stain, then the gloss topcoat. Holds up well.

I`ll never use varnish again.

I recently used Allwood from Awlgrip.
Simply amazing.
Spot repairable.
Hard yet flexible.
Flows out beautifully.
4-5 coats per day.
Has a sealer tint coat which makes the grain pop like
tung oil in varnish.

10 coats brushed on before blocking.
14 coats total followed with 4 coats of UPOL automotive
flexible bumper clear.

Finally logged back on. GFS, might you have a photo of your project? I have some beautiful mahogany downstairs waiting to be two part, two coats MAS epoxy, then 10 coats of Spar varnish. This friggin project has been on hold for four years, and the last (1982 BW 15 Sport) came out like living room furniture, all 5/4”, more or less stock interior replacement. But that was 2004.

Now I’m onto an identical 1988 and I’d love a product that can be applied more than one coat per day. Minor block sanding/brass wool, and wiped with a tack cloth between coats? Thanks.

No offense to OP.

I am upset with photobucket, but have some on my phone.

The entire process is a bit different as their chemists freaked when I mentioned
wiping with alcohol and tack rags. They only wanted dust blown off before their
primer/tint coats.

Sorry OP.

Hopefully the last snow was yesterday. It's back in the yard and the tank goes in soon.
