We are nearing a major milestone on the 1946 Gar Wood Ensign deck replanking portion of this preservation project.
Fabricating two small sections of planking, fastening them bedded in 3M5200, bunging the countersinks and sawing the excess away, and we will be ready for sanding and fairing the decks and covering boards.
Bleaching and staining will be next, followed by rolling, tipping and sanding coats of varnish.
We will be using Epifanes Gloss Clear Varnish on the decks and transom at the request of the owner.
