I have an older Bluewater kevlar canoe. I think it is at the point where the interior could use some refinishing. My thinking is that for the interior I can get away with some good marine varnish and that I don't need to mess with epoxy? Would others agree? Any input appreciated.

Varnish is what Bear recommended when I asked Northstar about the "blush" inside my Bell, if it bothered me enough to do something about it.

My 20 year old bell magic had some wear under the seat area and some "blushing". On the advice of Charlie Wilson I applied some fiber glass surfacing resin on the the worn areas, then varnished the entire bilge with semigloss polyurethane. The resin application takes about as much effort as the varnish - essentially none.
