Second coat of varnish

June 10, 2011
I vacuumed out the debris from the storm, and then went over the dory with a scotchbrite pad.  Fortunately, not much water got in and I was able to mop it up with a sponge.  According to the manual, the varnish needs a little "tooth" to hold the next coat and the scotchbrite pad does the job very well.  I've used up most of the rest of this can of varnish for the second coat.  I'm beginning to get a little worried that I'll run out.  I have two quart cans of the Interlux Schooner varnish but that was supposed to be enough for several coats, and I'll still need some for the thwarts.
