Andreas; Is their any differnce in what foam brushes to use? And about how many do you use to do a job? Jim Hays

DAH; Just went to ace and got my answer about cheescloth (its impregnated with something. The only cheese cloth around this house is what my wife used in here canning (no coating) and I assumed this is all there was. Now I understand. Thanks Jim Hays

Thanks Guys. But sometimes I just dont get my point accross correctly. Is the tack cloth dipped in some solution seems to me the dry cloth wont rub down anything. When painting cars used laquer thinner and other products for wipe down prior to painting. Thanks Jim Hays

fine cheesecloth, saturated with a tacky,or sticky, wax, (what is it). Used to collect dust from a surface just prior to varnishing. Danenberg description, is this necessary and to what length. Rookie here. Will be varnishing soon. Thanks for your help Jim Hays

Andreas thanks I was pretty sure it only takes one coat just wanted to get a reassurance on this. Again every one thanks for all of your help. Jim hays.

Andreaus, or anyone else, how many coats of pettit old salem sealer do you put on before varnish I think 1 ?? Also guys one of my brother inlaws has informed me that when the time comes to varnish he will help me get started (he make cabinets and carves in his spare time). So looks like my project i...

Thanks trey I will keep this in mind. Jim hays

Doent look good with the present stain job. Will be bleaching some black spots (just a few). However I dont lik...

Dan just a question does the covering on the deck have some kind of trim that goe over where the red and white come together. Jim Hays

Thanks Andreas; Guys I forgot to mention that I saw this in a ad in a copy of my wooden boat mag and was wondering if this would be a way to go, useing urethane. Will add a copy of this posting to my file, one of the problems here is you cant trust the weather when it comes to worring about humidity...

treys; this is what I did, cut the boards to fit, covered one side with the glue covered it with the vinyl rolled it down with one of the wifes rolling pins (making sure no air pockets) turned each section over and staped it to the back side. Did NOT CPES it. didnt fell it need it. I did trim the pa...

Ok GUYS its me again I know I asked this question about this earlier (varnishing) (months ago). Has anyone ever used a product called Bristol Finish (urethane) or any other (urethane). Again I want to remind all that IM a green horn at this and doing this job (varnishing) has me in a tizzy I have ne...

Darrell; I just got done doing the very thing that Texcapdan said in this posting 1/2in marine ply with vinal looks great (did this to my Hewes when the ply started to come apart, finally got to let someone know what I did that worked out fine) Jim Hays

Don the answer is yes I have tried to folow his instruictions and the advise from the fellows in this forum. This is the first boat that I have ever done this to and believe me there have been times when I have wondered if I have chosen the proper project. But dont get in a hurry just look at the th...
