Sorry the following was used without epoxy, but maybe of interest for
some one.

I have used Owatrol (spelling may be wrong) Part one (oil) and part two
(varnish), this is used on sailing boats (teak decks).

Apply the oil fist till the wood doesn't soak it up any more. Sand the
boat (fine sand paper) then apply the varnish 2 or 3 layers. The big
thing about having used oil is when you crack the varnish water doesn't
get into the wood.

Groetjes, Len

	Strip kayak builders, what varnish have you had best luck with?

	My criteria are:
	-UV protection
	-Durablility
	-compatibility with epoxy
	-not overly glossy
