[QUOTE="cron78, post: 502327, member: 34291"] Well...I have poly resin in the garage already and it would cost nothing. The boat has damage from Hurricane Michael that I doubt I will ever be able to fix since the extruded alum gunwale is bent badly, so she will never be a showboat. I bought the oak before the hurricane, so I did have nicer plans for her, but stuff happens. I will look up spar varnish, though, and perhaps it is a better choice. I have a recently acquired 1959 Carter Craft that needs a bit of varnish work, so maybe I will soon have spar varnish in the garage, too. In fact, maybe the transom project is a good training exercise for the work I need to do on the Carter. Thanks for the input. Oh, does the first coat of varnish need to be thinned to absorb into the wood, and if so, with what? I see in your earlier post that you did three coats on oak. [/QUOTE]
