First coat of satin on and still wet
So the first of a couple coats went on the salon side of the stateroom door yesterday morning and today before going to work we got another coat on.
Debbie had taped and papered the door so I would not drop satin varnish on the gloss as has happened before messing it all up.
It does not matter how many coats go on this side as there are ten of gloss any way so the varnish is built up. The satin just needs to cover and have no holidays or other screw ups, no easy feat for a perfectionist :)
This was more work than working on the door while the door was mounted (head door). True we needed to be at the boat which was not always easy but we could door the whole door at one time so ten coats was ten coats for the whole door. Having the stateroom door at the garage was easy because we could just walk down stairs and into the garage and it was ready to be worked on. Ten coats was one side though. Then flip it over and start again for another ten coats. It cam out nicer as the varnish can level it's self and we can apply more with out it running down the door as the door is laying flat. The door came out glassy looking and smother than the head door. Also the boat does not smell like varnish and 333 all the time. But say good bye to the garage as we are moving to the boat, bye, bye. Rather be at the boat!
ready for second coat.
We also have the hinges on now and will re-assemble the door knob\latch tonight along with the bracket that holds the door open.. Friday\Saturday is move days.
