The multi-step process of varnishing all the trim for the dinghy has
begun. Everything is laid out in the basement and I am also doing the
main forward hatch and the new electrical panel door at the same time.
It is actually a very cathartic thing to do but does take a long time
without a break.
Last night I strung together 3 hrs to get the first
coat done which will basically seal up the back sides of everything.
The front sides will get the multi-coat process. I always aim for seven
coats but usually get fed up and bored after five coats. My makeshift
paint room, the basement with a box fan in the window, works out OK but
of course it will be raining most of the week so my dry times are about
double what they would normally be. After 10hrs my first coat was still
tacky. Hard to keep dust down for that long.
