Project Log: Thursday, January 16, 2014
Using up the last bit of time at the end of a day, I
gathered the pile of teak bulwark strips that I'd had in
storage for the past three years. When I left off
with these, I'd made various repairs to the ends and
elsewhere, and cleaned them up and sanded them through
80 grit before storing them away.
Now, wanting to get these reinstalled as soon as
possible, I continued the sanding process, sanding the
exposed sides (and the short sections of the "back"
sides that would be exposed in the freeing port
openings) with 120 grit paper to further clean them and
smooth them. This grit would be fine enough for
this purpose. I sanded all eighteen sections,
brightening the wood and preparing them for varnish
before installation.
