Project Log: Monday, February 17, 2014
With a few hours at my disposal, I pressed on with the
caprails, applying another coat of varnish after the
usual sanding and cleaning. I wanted to install
pulpits and stanchions by the end of the week in order
to get the new lifelines measured and ordered shortly
thereafter, so daily coats of varnish would be the rule
till I'd achieved the buildup I wanted.

With this coat, I was just about ready to call it good
on the running boards so I could move on with the paint
portion of their finish. |

The next step in the battery box construction was to cut
strips of 6" biaxial tabbing for all the boxes' exterior
corners. After setting up a pair of work stations,
I coated the raw plywood with epoxy, then wet out and
installed the tabbing to complete the structural portion
of the box construction. I used additional
fiberglass to cover the entire bottom surface of each
box, since these surfaces would be close to the bilge
and most subject to potential moisture. |
