I have, Jack has, probably everyone has had troubles with epoxy finishes. Anyone using Trondak u40 perma gloss? I hear it is not finicky like flexcoat. I'm interested in trying spar varnish sometime, too. What varnishes are recommended? Also, I will be building a rod on a matt grey blank and I would like to use a satin finish on the wraps. Can I just use satin varnish?
