How many coats of varnish is recommended for the interior of the Eastport Pram? 3 or 4 coats? I don't plan on storing the boat outdoors, so other than the times I'm using it, it will be in the garage (out of the sun).
from what I have read and been told, 3 will give you good UV coverage, more coats = more coverage. That said, my rule of thumb is use up your varnish. I [personally] have not had much luck storing varnish so I add extra coats until the varnish is done...
~ The kit was really first-rate, and I was amazed at how perfectly all the parts were cut. I particularly loved not having to scarf the panels, nor drill hundreds of holes for the stitches! ~ more
