I started with a very cursory sand with 1000 grit wet and dry used dry. It helps to be able to see where the new varnish brushstrokes end and provides a microscopic key for the new varnish.  I still had to be very methodical in applying the new varnish, setting target markers for where my new paint went to, especially in areas where you can&#8217;t get the right angle of the light onto the surface. By about 11am I had finished my first round and after a cup of tea went out to check on my own boat and get some fresh air. The fumes are shocking with this stuff and I keep my mask on which filters them out surprisingly well but gets quite uncomfortable after a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second coat I cheated and didn&#8217;t bother with the inside of the gunwale slots or the bottom of the thwarts as presumably these areas won&#8217;t be subject to the same wear and tear. I had to ditch the brush at the end of the session as it was a mess of sticking out hairs with quite solid varnish on them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The outcome is very pleasing though as commented on by JD who stuck his head in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/denmarkrowers.org.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_1694-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/denmarkrowers.org.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_1694-768x1025.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/denmarkrowers.org.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_1694-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/denmarkrowers.org.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_1694.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Varnished Cox&#8217;s and bow seats.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/denmarkrowers.org.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_1693-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/denmarkrowers.org.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_1693-768x1025.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/denmarkrowers.org.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_1693-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/denmarkrowers.org.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_1693.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Like a new boat!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the background Clem has restored the dodgy rowlock pin at the Machinery Shed and two spares are being sourced from Tim at the Albany Rowing Club. Geoff B was in Albany and picked them up along with investigating winches and slings to lift a boat in the Riverside Club boat shed. The skiffs weigh less than 200kg so a powered winch may be the way to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">St John was out rowing three times today. Geoff was in the first shift with Clem and tells me they have the team positions sorted out for the Augusta Regatta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tomorrow is probably the last day of the build project with a bit of work to do on the rowlocks and the last varnish coat and paint on the footrest. We are going to need a few people to lift the boat onto the trailer on Friday morning so that it can be taken to be named at Denmark Signwriters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cheers Dave <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday 18 January 2023 Back in the shed early to get another couple of coats on the varnish work.
