The Back Door - 3


Throughout the week I've added two more coats of Captain's Varnish.

Get up. 

Remove the hardware.

Sand.

Vacuum.

Tack rag.

Varnish.

Wait 12 hours for it to dry.

Reinstall the hardware for the night.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

This weekend I plan to do the final two coats.


During the down time while waiting for the varnish to dry I've been picking away at some of the other little things.

Drilled out and glued dowels into oversized screw holes for the hinges, etc. and installed the new spring bronze weatherstripping, including lockstrips.

Everything fits properly and no daylight shining through the gaps!
