The Refit

Varnish time  and new standing rigging

1/21/2020

Today I got set up for and began varnishing. I am lucky enough to have been loaned some space in a loft at school for this project. I set up two work areas to limit contamination from dust. One table is for prepping the wood in between coats and the other is for applying the varnish. For varnishing I am first building the layers using Total Boat gleam 2.0 gloss spar varnish. Then, for the last two or three coats I will use Total Boat gleam 2.0 satin spar varnish. The combination should result in a beautiful matte finish.  
I also picked up my new standing rigging from R and W ropes this week. The new rigging looks fantastic and I could not be more pleased with their work.
