[C320-list] Interior Varnish

[David Nolte]

I can confirm Jon's experience. I was very satisfied with the product  
and with the results. Some of you were able to see those results at  
the Regatta last summer. I took the sole out to do it, which made the  
job itself easier. It would have been extremely difficult for me to  
have sanded the sole in the boat as I had extensive sanding to do.  
Once I got going, it was not a bad job at all, and very rewarding in  
the results.
