Boat Forum / Building / June 2007

Cover it with UV resistant varnish or poly based clear coat. Really
not a huge problem. Consider while building that you will be applying
varnish later so keep the coats of Epoxy down thin. Sometimes I thin
Epoxy after doing the seams and coat the panels lightly, just as a
sanding sealer and to keep the color of the wood and the seams
consistent. But the Varnish or Polyurethane with the UV protection
will be the key, that is where you will build up your thickness and
finish. Just my opinion, there are many here with much more experience.

Paint

Not just paint, but white paint. The more pure the white the better.
"White as the driven snow" is best.
