I think the key is the stiff, thicker brush and also loading up the brush and applying it a little on the thicker side.

I'm planning to paint the name of my nearly-finished canoe on each side of the stern ends. Epoxy is West System 105/206. Varnish is Flagship spar. Are there any no-nos to this plan? Any paints that are not compatible?

Thanks! What they said.

Glass-like epoxy
Good day fellow rod builders...
Just putting the finishing touches on another 4 rods, and still haven't been able to master the "glass like finish". Where it is noticeable is over decals, and over long runs of dragon scale etc.
