While the varnish was drying I took care of a few little projects such as cleaning fenders and improving my main anchor connections. Of course I also took some time off for a nice Valentine's Day holiday at Carol's!

I continued working on the chain plate backing plate covers and the trim for the port cabin side. After sanding the old trim piece and getting a couple of coats of Epifanes RapidCoat on it, I remounted it. Next I cut some bungs to hide the screw holes from scrap jatoba (which is redder and darker than teak) to better match the already stained trim. After inserting, trimming and sanding the bungs, it took some careful sanding and staining with RapidCoat to make an unnoticeable blend. After four cycles of sanding and coating with RapidCoat, it's ready for gloss varnish. During this time I was also applying coats of Epifanes Clear Gloss finish to the remaining covers for the backing plates. After four coats they are ready for sanding and the final coat or two.

More wood shots.
ReplyDeleteWelly, the box was a good try. Maybe a Pachinko machine? How about a coin bank? Bulletin board? Painting of a clown? Wood carving of a gargoyle?
Oh well.
Acetone - miracle cleaner of fender. Been there; done that. Addicted to the stuff. Will clean anything. Except my blood cells. Dangerous stuff. Love clean fenders though. Wonderful.
Turtle and roses. What more could you ask for on valentines day?
