[> Glass over varnish -- Mark, Aeolus, M31, - Thursday - 09/24/09 - 3:09pm

Hey Randall,
I put a layer of 4oz cloth on my main mast were it sits in the boot for added protection. I first applied 10 coats of "Flagship" varnish, then added the cloth w/WEST epoxy. Bonded well with no problems, however the sticks are still off the boat so I don't know about long term. The WEST would of coarse need some sorta UV protection. I'm still contemplating applying a urethane enamel to the whole mast for better UV protection.
Mark
