Curious about Wooden Canoes
I am beginning restoring the woodwork on my Northland canoe by varnishing the keel. Currently have put on 6 coats of spar varnish. My question is:
How many coats of varnish should I use before the additional coats become redundant?
I would assume that after a certain level of protection is reached, the "Law of Diminishing Returns" will come into play, but what is that level? I am curious how many coats of varnish the canoe maintainers, repairers and restorers of this site use.
Thank you for your help.
