Thanks for the input folks. I should have been clearer in my original email. I am looking for input from people who have experience with "exp system" brand epoxy (https://www.expsystem.ca). It is manufactured in Peterborough Ontario and is widely available in local chandlers. It is almost half the cost of the comparable West System products. I have a lot of experience with West System and think they make great products, but they are a little pricey. One of the reasons I am replacing the existing cabin sole is that there are places where water has penetrated the finish and compromised the ply. It might have been caused by poor application of the varnish or failure to maintain the finish by the previous owner, however I would feel better applying a 2 or 3 coats of epoxy before I move on to varnish.

A good quality varnish on the surface is much easier to redo or touch up and i would paint the undersides with rustoleum or equivalent. Just my 2 cents Maurice Poulin Envoyé de mon iPad Le 22 nov. 2017 à 11:39, Doug Welch via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> a écrit : I am installing a new teak and holly veneer cabin sole on my 33-2 and was going to seal it with west system 105/207 until I ran across exp system which seem similar but less expensive. Does anyone have experience with exp system they can share? I would like to save some money on the epoxy but not at the risk off screwing up the very expensive veneer ($550/sheet):) Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
