The before videos of the caprail. That is before I stripped them for varnishing.
The little bubbles, I think, is the morning dew.
August 2019 - s\v Elegant'sea is currently in Paradise Village Marina in Banderas Bay Mexico (by Puerto Vallarta)
Stripping off some more of the Sikkens Cetol and removing caulking. The heat gun helps a lot with removing the caulking. It is still a lot of work. I did end up using up the heat gun and will need to purchase a new one.because the electrical connection is worn out (gee, I wonder why? 😏)
The "Mad Scientist" filtering the varnish (Z Spar Flagship Varnish - 2015 Gloss)
and making a 50/50 mix as a first coat
Some mre coats.
When we get back this fall, I will add a few more coats.
Or maybe after the cruising season in about May. May - June are good months to varnish. Not the rainy season yet and generally the weather is not too hot yet. We still have the eyebrows to do. They are stripped but are bare teak wood at present.
