First coat of varnish.

The first coat of Epifanes CV Varnish, thinned 50% has been applied. Some of the cedar really sucked the varnish!

I was impressed at how easy it was to get a nice even coat of the thinned varnish on.

The directions on the varnish said to thin it 50%. Now, is that 1 part varnish to 1 part thinner? Or is that 2 parts varnish to 1 part thinner? I'm not telling what I did, in case I did it wrong.

6 coats of varnish to go.

Also, I got the fuel tube in from Amazon. I am rebuilding a gas can for the boat - it's a nice metal gas can that has a gooey sludge buildup on the inside bottom. I've tried several things to clean the crap out of the tank, and so far nothing has worked 100%. I'm getting close.
