Got the door almost ready for another coat. As you can see in the pictures we use an iron sander to hit the spots that get runs and the varnish collects. Then the rest of the door gets the red scratch pad treatment.
I think we are on coat six, it is marked at the garage. After seven we will start just varnishing the trim with the gloss. Then do the inside panels with satin for their last three coats taping off the gloss. Got to speed it up a bit as we are getting close to moving aboard.
We use a drop light a lot so we do not miss spots. This one was a dumpster save by Hinze.
We had dinner over at the Hilton with Hinze last knight. He was telling us he needs a boat break. He also is a live aboard and is getting ready for cursing. He at this time is doing wiring and port holes from New Found Metals newfoundmetals.com. He was saying you never get a break because you go home to the same place you are working on. We can see that and hope we can compensate by going out a lot to say the movies etc.
Back to the door...
All the brass hardware still needs to be brought back to like new then coated with polyurethane so it stays that way.
