John,

If the article that you mentioned is on the web could you tell us where we might find and read it.

Thanks,

Ken

: OK, I won't use steel wool and I am off today to get some 400 and 600 grit to
: try your system Brian. And I will try Paul's way of preserving my varnish.
: Clever. I have been pouring it in another container and caping the orginal
: container right away. A couple of questions. I wet sanded one time with
: 220 and didn't like the way the white build up seem to take place on my
: sandpaper and also left in white residue on the boat that was hard to get
: off. Is this the way it is for you guys? And how many sheets of paper
: should it usually take to sand the boat one time? Drysanding, I keep
: cleaning out the white residue that keeps cloging the sandpaper. As you
: can see I don't know the techneque of what it should be like.

: I do like the wiping way of putting on varnish since I think I would make a
: mess of it by brushing. Thanks REHD. I found an article where this guy
: wipes on poly and sands with 220 between coats but towards the the end he
: puts on a coat, waits 2 hours and wipes on another coat. I just have to
: try it today on my 5th and 6th coat.

: Thanks for all of the infor-----John
