Varnishing!!

I am finally getting to the end. I am on y third coat of hull varnish and have to say that this my least favorite part of the build. I choose to use Captain's Varnish by Pettit. It works nice, but I keep on getting sags at the chines. I sand these with a 220 grit and rinse an recoat. I am hoping to get this process down, as I was only going to do four coats per side. I would appreciate any susggestions, and will be seeing you on the water soon.

ETA launch date, next Sunday, if all goes well!!
