Starting to varnish the Rubbing Strakes and continue with the blue stripe gelcoat repairs

After applying three coats of mahogany stain to the the original and new rubbing strakes to get them to colour match as much as is possible it is time to start applying the several coats of varnish to the rubbing strakes.


The few coats will be a thinned coats of stain varnish followed by three coats of clear varnish to give te rubbing strakes a good level of protection. 


The rubbing strakes are looking better for every coat being applied as it builds up the levels of varnish


The blue gelcoat repair is coming along as well with build up of layers of gelcoat before kb=nocking back and compounding and polishing the whole of the blue stripe.



Just got to apply another coat of gelcoat before leaving it to cure over the next couple of days.
