For the second round of replacing the cabin sole and after using a single coat of epoxy with about 8 coats of gloss varnish on the first effort 12 years ago, I changed up.
1 coat Awlwood MA Primer 4 coats Awlwood MA Gloss 2 coats satin varnish of choice. I needed two coats because I’m a crappy varnisher… And all I ever did between coats was sand, clean with a ling-free rag and use a tack-rag as I was brushing. Which is probably a bad thing… :-) Best, Dave Godwin 1982 C&C 37 - Ronin Reedville - Chesapeake Bay Ronin’s Overdue Refit <http://roninrebuild.blogspot.com/> > On Mar 16, 2016, at 1:28 PM, Hoyt, Mike via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: > > Hi > > All sections of new cabin sole are cut out and fitted and now the coating is > in progress.
