G'day John, Thanks for the advice. The scratches do bother me a bit, which is curious because normal wear and tear scratches on a boat don't worry me much at all! Anyway I'll certainly try the two part polyurethane and hope that its available in a transparent version. All the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
