Welcome back! And Happy New Year 2022!
When last I wrote an article about this 1969 Chris Craft Roamer 46 refit, I had applied 1/8″ mahogany plywood veneers to Tricel panels using epoxy and many clamps to make aft stateroom doors. In this article, I’ll apply veneer to the door edges then finish them with ICA two-part urethane base coat clear.
After the final test fitting, I removed the doors and sanded them with 120 and 240 grit Mirka Abranet. Then it was time to apply the ICA base-coat urethane.
After letting the ICA clear coat cure for a couple of days, I finally installed the doors.
In retrospect, I should have stained the side of the door that faces the salon to match, since I had to stain all of the original mahogany there that had been discolored by decades of neglect. At this point, I’m OK with how it’s turned out.

So sorry to hear of the continuing saga and how ridiculous the process is. I thought that employers were not allowed to divulge reason for employment termination, that they were only allowed to confirm start and end dates. At least that’s how it was in the private sector when I was working.
Anyway, I pray for a successful outcome on all three fronts; the case, a new job, and the boat.

Thanks Capn Jim!
The questions that kill my chances of being hired is “what was your most recent annual performance rating?” Followed by “Why did you leave EPA?” Even when the interviewers express empathy at my explanation, I can understand why a job candidate with an “unacceptable” performance rating would represent too much risk.
Cheers,

Thanks for the update, Q! Good luck with you claims against your former employer. Hope you can resume the refit soon.
Switched across, and good luck with the claims. Wishing you all the best for 2022.
Great! Back atcha, Nigel!
On doors its edges first then the face. It does not snag on something as easily and tear the veneer
Good to know! Thanks!
