Fourth coat of epoxy

June 13, 2011
I wet sanded the dory and then put on the fourth coat of varnish;  I also put the second coat of varnish on the stern seat, and put the first coat on the thwarts.  Fortunately, the weather cooperated and it stayed cool and cloudy but no rain or wind. The manual said that at least three coats were necessary to protect the epoxy from the sun and that more than five coats was excessive.  I've compromised with four coats.  Anyway, I'm not that obsessive, and I need to save some varnish to finish the thwarts and all the sailing components.
