It's that time of year again! Varnishing is a very intensive annual project but the results are always worth it! Finally had a good weather window to film AN...

all right well I apologize for not

having anything really interesting to

show ya I've just been too busy doing

stuff not actually recording it but

today because it is a nice afternoon and

rain for the next 24 hours or so I'm

going to try to get another layer of

varnish on right now I have two layers

of varnish on this I need to get to four

so today I'll be putting the third one

on same with this part right here as

well as the top of this in the back here

I have the wood trim that goes around

this winch needs to be varnished again

with the second layer these two layers

on them as of right now so I'll be

putting the third layer on them as well

but then that will leave the rub rail

right here on the side of the boat the

two forward hand rails and the toe rail

all along the side of the boat come over

here show you so this part is my least

favorite to do because I have to

basically nailed down on deck and leaned

over the side and scraped for a couple

days so I'm going to save that until

springtime when it is consistently nice

out right now I'm only getting about a

day or two at a time where I can take

the time to do this job so back to work

between every layer of varnish it's

important to do a quick sanding that'll

help remove any dust particles or

imperfections in the previous layer

after I do the quick sanding I'll wipe

everything down with a clean cloth to

make sure you know the dust is leftover

and then I will apply the next coat of

the varnish

[Music]

whytnee time I'm not gonna say white

because I'm in the video that's kind of

lame

[Music]

anticipation how'd you get so dirty

well you gotta do something about it you

can't just be like this maybe if you

will oh there we go then we'd be able to

clean up together but you never here

so firstly I'll help clean you up I will

take an intermission to talk about the

window okay what are the updates I got

this piece of wood replaced and the

window is back in place in the field

next on the panel project will be to

cover those gaps with little teak

stripping you might I don't know how

well it's gonna show up on camera but

these are actually two different colors

it's ever so slate you can only see it

in the exact right lighting so I don't

really know how much I'm gonna care

about that but then once that is done

I'll move on to the other side there's

what all this wood down here is about

and yeah we'll be almost done with that

project

man it's been going on for two years now

okay it is white time got to get them

clean so you'll see the difference

sanded got sanded here a lot of that

white on there is just just that you

have to clean off

as fast as you can now if I had the time

to do it I could also just hose it off

and wait until it dries come back but I

don't have that kind of time anymore so

we are going to have to do it this way

and trust you that it is clean enough

first layer

[Music]

okay now it is a varnish time one thing

I do before I use a brand new brush like

this one is I don the hair you'll see a

lot of the horse hair or whatever it is

it comes right out and that stuff is

going to get left in your varnish if you

don't kind of pre pluck it you'll get

something anyway but it helps to reduce

the amount that you're gonna have left

behind in there so let's get to washing

[Music]

all that now to let it dry for 12 to 24

hours and I'll come back to it later
