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,
