Bad Varnish Day

In the final stretch with my North Bay S&G. The first coat of Flagship varnish, lightly thinned with T-10 per instructions, went onto the bottom and really looks spectacular. (I had used "Captain's" on my prior boat, but the Flagship seems to flow a bit nicer.) Unfortunately, the next coat on the deck a day later looks as if I had stirred a teaspoon of dust in it :-( . (I had an aircleaner going ahead of time, etc., etc...)Oh well, at least the bottom has a good start...a bit more sanding than expected and a solid dose of humility :-)
