Warren Hein Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 At this point I've stopped using the workbench for fear of slathering epoxy all over the surface. I hate putting it in the corner like it is at this stage. Some shop stools have become my go-to work supports. They have adjustable supports to raise the surface.

wdwerker Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I cover my shop tables with 1/4" MDF sheets when finishing, gluing etc. Bought a stack of them just for that purpose, some are even cut to fill leftover spaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Hein Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Varnishing the deck. I have about 8 coats of varnish now on the board. After some issues with brushing, I switched to rolling and tipping out the air bubbles. I really just scratch sanded between all coats, but between the 7th and 8th, I was more aggressive with the ROS to take out the minor ripples in the varnish. The last coat, I still have some dust nibs, but I'll let it cure some over the next few weeks before I sand them out and rub out the finish. Added storage to the deck. Including some bungee cords for life jackets. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
