Hi Andy,

A couple of coats good quality varnish is fine for a plywood boat, if you not concerned about cost West epoxy resin is the best stuff. 😀

Hi Ray Wood 2

If i use either varnish or the west epoxy can these be painted over ?

Or use varnish inside boat and epoxy on hull ?

Thanks

Hi Andy,

West is good inside & out and can be painted,

And externally on the hull sanding sealer then paint, you may read about glass cloth & resin, but not really needed on your Sea Commander, I've built a few 😀
