I had a bit more planned for the day, I'll admit, but when I arrived at the shop so did the thunder storm. I decided to make do with the work within the shop...building the coats of varnish on the brightwork. The positive here was that with the exception of a couple pieces, this would be may last coat for the various components comprising the beautiful teak brightwork.
So, I got started sanding the many pieces to be coating with the Epifanes: in the background the coaming boards, the companionway hatch slide rails, the companionway vertical trim, the coming return blocks, the tiller, the taff rail, the companionway threshold, the aft toe rail 'nibs', etc....a lot!
I vacuumed all surfaces, followed by a solvent wipe down to remove the lingering dust film.
I then applied the Epifanes high gloss, to the coaming boards.
And to the companionway threshold.
And to the drop boards, companionway vertical trim, and winch base pads.
And to the bow cap, taff rail, and there is another drop board.
And to the companionway hatch slide rails, and the mainsheet traveler base trim.
And the toe rails.
Finally, and this was off the clock, the tiller.
There are but a few more coats of varnish to apply to the toe rails and the coaming boards to wrap up the brightwork.
Total Time Today: 3.5 hrs (time and materials not applied to the tiller)
