Good points, all.
So what about grain fillers? capt. dave mentioned it to me.
Also, the doors are a raised panel affair, so want to use some good glue. They are still in pieces as we speak, due to some shoulder surgery.
I've looked at the Epifanes info. on a site, and they say to thin 50%, then 25%, and so on, light sand between coats. Haven't seen anything about grain fillers.
Now we go from cetol to epoxy, grain fillers, varnish...
So nobody has ever used good old Waterlox? Been around for about 75 yrs., has lots of tung oil, which the chineese used 700 yrs ago to waterproof their boats.
Also capt'n Ebb: any more info./pics of outboard well? Still working on ideas to get the lid to close on a yamaha 9.9/remote control. I'm still in awe of the work you've done.
