At the request of my daughter, the deck of her light pine stripped deck of the shearwater 16 I am building will be a bright pink rose color. ( Hull be bright white. )

I used a aniline dye powder with alchohol.  Need sunglasse to look at it.

The test varnish with Interlux schooner does not look so bad but I would like a more clear coating on the deck.

Any ideas?

Will poylurethane be to brittle?

Thanks

Anthony
