I am not sure what they use on factory made paddles, but I put on a coat or two of epoxy, and then used a marine varnish for UV protection on my homemade kayak paddle, and it feels like the wooden ones sold at the local REI. I am about at the same stage as you are with my greenland paddle, also following Chuck's directions. Anyways, that is my thought for the day. ~~~Chad~~ *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
