The day before varnishing I washed it out in the driveway to give it one last check to see if there were any areas that needed attention and everything looked good.
After a couple coats of varnish the shine started coming back. I let it cure for a day and lightly sanded by hand between each coat. I used a foam roller to apply a thin coat of varnish and then after a section was covered I tipped it with an almost dry brush to smooth it out. This method works pretty well.
It has been said that, "A man once drank a quart of varnish. He had a terrible end but a beautiful FINISH!!"
After all that scraping and sanding it was a relief to see the shine come back better than ever and now the epoxy layers underneath will be protected from UV rays.
Time to flip it over and get to work on the interior!
