I’m looking for on advice on best practices for applying varnish to reel seat inserts. I have tried dipping the insert in the varnish followed by sanding with 320 grit sand paper and then dipping again. Also tried applying it by brush but results were pretty much the same. It takes repeating the process 3 to 4 times before I get an acceptable finish. Feedback is very appreciated!

I’m considering this but unsure how salt water and sun might affect the reel seat (durability, color fade, etc.) - any advice is appreciated.

I’m interested in learning how to apply marine spare urethane to wood inserts – for instance, do you have a favorite brand, how do you apply and do you do multiple coats. Thanks in advance!
