How much vanish is enough ?


Varnished front

3 coats ?

I think this will; be enough. I've been good and given each a light sand before re-coating. The yacht varnish is really bringing the colours of the wood alive like I hoped it would. My big worry is ending up with too thick a finish. Perhaps the varnish should be thinned a bit before use, but then I'm likely to get sags or runs.

Whatever, the result is very nice. Next, I get to put the mechanical bits in.
