Doug,
Total Boat clear penetrating epoxy sealer (https://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=97636) does a good job sealing the sides and bottom. I cut it 50% with denatured alcohol and put on two coats. For the surface, use a good quality varnish. I’ve used several thinned coats of Epifanes Clear Varnish for a base with a couple of thinned coats of their rubbed effect varnish. The former adds UV protection and the latter gives a nice soft finish. I would not put epoxy on the surface. Once I tried to make a section of “non-skid” cabin sole by sprinkling salt crystals over wet varnish. After the varnish dried, I washed of the salt. Thankfully, I experimented with a piece of plywood. The surface wasn’t that rough. Have any other listers tried this?

Does anyone have experience with exp system they can share? I would like to save some money on the epoxy but not at the risk off screwing up the very expensive veneer ($550/sheet):) Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android <https://overview.mail.yahoo.com/mobile/?.src=Android>
