6th voat of varnish 5% reduction

Yankin' it!

Hoisted the beat engine out of the Crooks - that's the brand name of the boat.  Now we can begin to make it work again.

Sanding break!

Sanding 'er down with 320 grit.....wet sanding!  The reason to do this is to smooth it out, if you don't the varnish will have an uneven surface......4 more coats to go!

5th coat of varnish

4th coat of varnish

This coat was thinned just a little bit - 5% - as the rest of the coats will be.  One thing I noticed is that it took about twice as much varnish this time compared to last time.....think because the layer is thicker (less thinner used).

varnish - 3rd coat!

This coat was thinned 25% just like the second coat.
