Would spar urethane work as a good sealant on a wakeskate and does it look good, shiny and clear?
Or would 2 part epoxy be better?
If you have any other suggestions post them.
Thanks. |

i used just strait polyurethane, it dries clear-ish, and seals the wood pretty well. I mainly use it just because i like to draw my own graphics on the bottom  |

Spar is the most super tits. Do 3 thick coats with scuffing in between coats. _________________
