Nutshell Pram EXCUSE ME 08 Sep 22 Thwart Varnish

08 Sep 22:

Applied the soaker coat of TotalBoat Gleam Satin varnish to the Nutshell Pram thwarts. We prefer the satin finish to reduce glare and it will compliment the buttery glow from our paint selection.

Skipper smelled the varnish and came out to do it the correct way, vs my mop technique. Her Dad Capn Jack was a varnish Master, she learned from cell memory and observation. She's been boat building since 1969, when she puttied all the screw holes on the family's Petrel sailboat with her little fingers, no gloves. Peeled off her fingerprints, she'd make a good bank robber to this day.



Sealer coat of varnish applied to the keel.
