K-Type Matte OR Semi-Gloss (Satin) Varnish ($29.95/liter)
This is a polyurethane varnish with
fewer UV inhibitors than the CLEAR SPAR Varnish above. We
like to use the Matte on the inside hull
of our canoes and Rangeley Lake Boats when we leave the
coarse "cloth" coat of fiberglass. Application of this material
is VERY easy and forgiving; the Matte dries to a dull flat
finish that hides the little variations on your inner hull
that you would rather not see. Another use is for the inside
of the strip or stitch n glue kayaks. This varnish dulls
the gloss and gives you a very professional looking interior.
The
Semi-Gloss provides a nice, satin finish.
You can use this on the outer hull and it will look like
a real wood boat without all the gloss.
For
either version of this varnish we suggest applying the Coma
Berenice Gloss listed above first in 2 to 3 coats and then
top coating with Matte or Satin for the final finish.
Make
sure you stir thoroughly to get the flattening agent evenly
distributed in the mix.
