Shower grate get varnish evened by sanding, six coats - 2010

To get the Pettit Z-Spar Captain's Satin varnish V-975 even I had to sand it down a bit. I used an electric sander for this sanding as it was a bit much for hand sanding. I hated to see my hard fought varnish come off but it needs to be flat and nice.

I then went over it with a scratch pad including all the holes.

Then wiped it off with Interlux 333 and all the holes.

Then put on a coat of varnish including all the holes.

Still wet varnish

That is with 6 coats on top. But of course I probably sanded off a couple few to get it nice and flat.

All in all it is harder than it sounds, what we do for beauty.
