As we have decided to move onto the boat this May 1st we decided also to varnish the drawers under the bead. Our thinking is it will be easy now compared to when we are using them. Also we will not have a garage. So we pulled them out of the boat and at the dock we washed them good with a scrub rush and TSP. We brought them home and I sanded them and then washed lightly with TSP and when it dried I washed again with Interlux 333 as always. Then the first coat of diluted Interlux (96) varnish went on.
We will do five coats inside and ten on the face of the drawers. Still I can not bring myself to just do five coats. Perhaps when we get moved on and want to make faster progress. Besides on these items it would be hard to add coats later if we wanted to sat add the next five coats. Doing a coat every few years would not be an issue.
