Oh don't worry there will be a lot of pictures...


Denny to answer a few of your questions, yes there is clearance on the screw head...however I will recess the washer to give a cleaner look.

Pros and cons on the epoxy seal. The pros is everything you said.

The cons are (and this happened to 2 people I know) your varnish wears down and everything still looks good, and all of sudden every thing turns creamy...cause! varnish has lost its uv protection and the epoxy has none. The result you have to sand all the epoxy off

Epifanes recommends the 10 coat layup, starting with a 50% dilution and working up to the final 3 coats of full strength.

The other alternative, is Imron makes a clear coating that can be sprayed on.

So we will do a bit more reading before I decide.
