It's fun! And you will have more pride in your boat.

If you want to just add a couple of coat a year. Sand down the old coat and put a fresh coat over it. It is that easy!

Use 180 grit sandpaper to rough up the old varnish. Wipe with a tack cloth and apply a coat of spar varnish. Use spar varnish only. Regular varnish cloud up under the sun's UV rays. Regular varnish tends to peel under wet conditions.

Ask for Rick at the Gilford Lowes paint department. He has the expertise.
