Finished Parts | Test Fit

I thought it would be a good idea to check that all was well with the finished parts that were now available, so I made a quick test fit.

This is the tabernacle, stood in position in the forward deck well.

That looks OK.

Next came the companionway slide and the acrylic drop boards.

Looking good!

Everything then went back inside, out of harms way.

Tillers | More Varnish & Finished

I mentioned in the last post about the tillers that I thought a couple more coats of varnish might be required, and that was indeed the case.

I wet sanded them with a P400 grit before applying the next coat. Here they are curing on the bench.

One final coat was needed but I used a fine nylon abrasive pad to prepare the surface rather than sand it again. That was all that was needed.

Here are the tillers with the pad.

And here are the finished articles.

Another job done, and ticked off the list.

The tillers then went back inside the house to await deployment.
