Hi All,
We recently came into possession of a cedar strip canoe that we planned to refinish this winter. We have, however, had more fun than expected using her, and we're hoping to get several more trips out of her before the season ends. My question is about the value of a light sanding and application of a UV-filtered marine varnish now to keep her better protected over the next several trips, knowing that we're going to strip her down and re-finish her properly over the winter. Any thoughts?
Here are two (not very useful) pictures. I'll get better ones later today.
Thanks in advance.
