June 2018
Finally after much waiting and distraction I have got around to sanding the decks prior to the second application of West 105/207 clear coating epoxy.
After snading I wash the area down with Methylated spirit and give it a final wipe down before coating.
The coating was going so well until I discovered the bottom third of the tin of West 105 was crystalised.
That's what happens when you take too long to do a job!
I had no choice but to use it. it doesn't float on and will need a light sanding prior to varnishing but the whole deck will anyway. So onward!
Why are strimmers made for short people and therefore give taller people backache?
My wife, who is of average height, asked for the strimmer to be extended. Voila. A nice piece of oak, suitably
profiled and slotted to accept the now longer power cable, has been inserted into the original shaft. Well,
it was out of warranty...
Wife happy.
Finally, another small distraction. part 1...
