I’ve got a lot of mahogany bits that need varnishing. That ICA polyurethane is stinky stuff, so I want to do a lot in one fell swoop.
Sanded and ready for ICA
First three coats turned out great!
Compared to the “before” version, it’s quite an improvement
The beam looks good, too
First coats on the aft stateroom head sliding door box look nice
V-berth moldings, hatch trim rings, and aft stateroom entryway mahogany bits look great when varnished
Nice!
Next day, sand and repeat
Sand with 220 grit Mirka Abranet
then apply three more coats of ICA
Looking very good
The next day, I installed the varnished mahogany door jamb.
Wetted out with US Composites 635 epoxy, then add dollops of wood flour-thickened epoxy
I applied epoxy to the bulkhead with a slight curve in it
And clamped the new door jamb in place
Leave it clamped in place and go home
