: Hi Rob,
: I finished the inside of the boat using your varnishing technique and I am
: very pleased. I only had one minor run in three coats and it turned out
: very nice. Thanks for the great advice.
: I plan on buffing the outside depending how it turns out. How long should I
: wait before final polishing???
: Andreas
Wait about 10 years.
Seriously though, Polishing is wasted effort on a boat to be used. If your varnish job doesn't knock your socks off by itself, then apply a couple more coats for practice.
Put the time into practicing your varnish technique. When you're confident of your technique you'll be able to apply a mirror finish with a foam brush in 30 minutes.
All the best,
Rob Macks
