Companionway Hood & Cabin Roof | Final Coat

I left the seatbacks and the rear cabin wall to cure for a couple of days and wet sanded the overlap onto the cabin roof and the seatback tops.

Using a felt roller sleeve I then applied the fifth and final coat of gloss to the companionway hood and the cabin roof, thinned with 5% Easy Flow conditioner.

This is what it looked like, viewed from starboard.

No bad at all! The felt roller certainly achieves a better finish than the foam.

The rear face of the tabernacle got its final coat at the same time, like this.

Lastly I pulled the tape from the toe rails, revealing the sapele for the first time in months!

Here is the starboard rail.

This feels like real progress, at last.
