45. Varnish on Deck

Well the effort to create the plastic room to tame dust paid off tremendously! The first cot of varnish is dry on the deck with ZERO dust specks in it. Truly flawless finish.

44. Room in a Room

The hull now has 4 coats of varnish and is finished and oh so beautiful. We had a slight problem with dust specks. My attempted solution is this room in a room. It will give dust 2 full days to settle before we put the first coat of varnish on the deck. Almost there!

43. Wet Sanding

What a great day to sand outside. This is the 1st outdoor work I have been able to do. It was raining, but hey, I was wet sanding. It went very well. Used 400 grit paper and sanded every inch of the kayak by hand. The 3rd coat of varnish will go on the hull tomorrow morning.
