: Hi Mike,

: My last post was for you not Jim and I forgot about clean up info. after I
: finish the wet sanding I wipe the boat down with a damp sponge. after that
: I wipe the whole boat down with mineral spirits (usally twice). Once the
: boat is dry I use a tack cloth before I apply the next coat of varnish.

Mike, I use a hose constantly running on the boat while wet sanding. I wrap the paper around a foam block to make it easier to hold. After sanding, I wash with carwash soap and rinse throughly. I then blow off most of the water with a power leaf blower and finish drying with paper towels. This method has worked great for me.
