In Response To: New paint and varnish (Craig in PHX)

85 !! It was 85 at my house too. 22 in the front, 21 on the sides and 21 in the back!
The finish is two coats of home depot spar varnish urethane, over pine. I'll give it another coat before launch. The outside is latex house paint. hey the inside is latex too. I have tried the e$pensive marine paint and wasn't impressed to continue using (buying) it. I used a glidden urethane Porch and Deck paint on my Catboat's hull and loved it. I had to read the instructions, but i did that in the house so the neighbors wouldn't catch me. It went on fine with a little sponge roller and then dragged the bubbles off. three years and going strong. I did repair several dings and it matched great. I am about to trim some sails for this critter. the little box in the floor will house a cut down elec. trolling motor. Good luck
