Post subject: Spray Epoxy?
I am in the process of building my first boat right now. I am off to the garage as soon as I finish this post. My first boat is just a 14' dory. I am going to cover this entire boat with glass and epoxy.

After this boat, I plan to build the same boat again but I want a wood grain finish instead of the fiber glass. I love the finishes that the wood canoes have. It is that thick and wet looking finish. Are they spraying clear epoxy to get that finish? It sure would make a strong boat to have a thick coat of epoxy that still shows off the wood grain.

Any thoughts, ideas, or input, would be a huge help. Thanks!

I am also documenting the entire build with video on http://www.PureBoats.com

spraying usually makes the smoothest finish. I'm not normally a fan of brush finishes, but on wood grain it might look nice. Using a roller is also fairly smooth, but not sure about using it on a boat.
