Well folks, the title says it best. I sanded like hell all afternoon. The Cedar strips (the darker ones) are quite a bit softer than the fir strips, and so i may have gouged them in a few places.
The Varnish should arrive next Tuesday from Jamestown Distributors.
I'm not sure of the order of operations. Do I varnish, then tape off the varnished areas and paint, or do I paint, then varnish? I'll come up with a plan.
Also, I found a cut in the fiberglass covering the hull. It look like a quick hit with some sandpaper and a small patch of cloth and resin will fix it up nicely... but my last escapade with fiberglass didn't end so well.
What do you think about Deck Seaming? It appears this boat has never had the deck seamed- but why not? Would it look bad? I think it might add some character. I don't have to decide for a while - that comes much later, after 5 coats (or is it 7) of varnish.
