Work continues on 'Pintail'... After a lot of rubbing down and a good clean out her interior was given two coats of varnish. She has now been turned over and placed on trestles so her bottom could be cleaned and rubbed-down for fresh varnish.
There are a couple of spots where fastenings have been corroding that have been cleaned up and treated before being primed with thinned varnish. A good rubbing-down with wet-or-dry 400 grade used wet on the topside and 320 grit used dry on her bottom and she was ready for varnish. Two coats applied coat-on-coat with a day between coats.
