v-stab ribs 2nd coat of varnish

Post by MikeFairbanks »

This part of the build is hard for me because it takes so much time. Mix up varnish let it flash, apply varnish to 1 side of the item then let it sit for the better part of a day, then mix up another batch of varnish and let it flash and apply to the other side of the item and let it sit again.

But, the vertical stab ribs have now been fitted, the stiffeners are bonded to the ribs, and everything has its second coat of varnish applied to both sides. Now I just have to wait until tomorrow to see if 2 coats is enough or if I'll have to do a 3rd.
