In Response To: Strip: Need some creative varnishing ideas (Lou Jacobs)

: I'm ready to start varnishing my Night Heron, and would like to hear some
: creative solutions to my problem. Short of skewering the boat so that it
: can be rotated like its on a spit, does anyone have any ideas about ways
: to apply a full coat of varnish to the entire boat in one application
: instead of having to wait for the top half to dry before turning the boat
: over to do the bottom half? If there were a nautical equivalent to Car
: Talk, this strikes me as a good puzzler!

Here's how I did one of my kayaks. Of course having hatches is a prerequisite.
