: The part I don't know how to do better is the transition from hull to deck. I
: was taping off with blue tape to keep from drooling onto the lower
: half,but that leaves a ridge when you remove the tape. There should not be
: any percievable line there when finished. I'm getting the material on
: fairly evenly (not much problem with sags/runs). If I don't tape it off
: will the varnish flow out at the edge without leaving a bulge? How does
: everyone do the last coat where the varnish meets at the sheer with the
: hull which would be dry?

I "hang" my boats by the bow and stern tiedown loops suspended horizontaly about waist high. Then you can do the whole boat at once by either getting under it or reaching into the coackpit and flipping it over. Next time i plan on using a rod through the endpour hole instead of the rope. This aslo saves time waiting on cures.
Sorry i dont have any pictures
Cheers
