Default Latex paint over spar varnish?

And I don't mind spending whatever I have to for a good finish. The

I used on the trim (Glidden Endurance) seems to be holding up very

I'm wondering about the durability of an oil based paint. What's your
verdict?




However, if you do it in latex, you can follow pretty much the same
procedure and get pretty good results. The finish won't be as hard,
and won't be as UV/scuff/water resistant, but then when you need to
paint again, you can just clean it, sand it, and paint it.

Let us know what you did and how you did it. Hope this helps.

Wow. I have 2 heat guns and I had never tried using one to remove paint (or
varnish). It's taking it off very nicely.
