Varnish coats?

[Wolfgang92025]

Wolfgang Did you mean lint. If so what roller did you use? I used the roller with the same material as the brushes and I didn't have a problem with lint?-Wayne
PS I'm glad it worked out for you.

Bohemian,

Yes I mend lint.(English being my second language, gives me trouble every once in a while.) It was just a couple of strands. On second coat used masking tape on the roller to pull any loose fibers of first. Worked really well.
Mounted my sides to the frame permanently yesterday. When I compare the brush side to the roller side, I could really tell a difference.
I would highly recommend your approach do anyone looking for a faster and easier way to put on varnish.

Bo...

Did you apply the epoxy first and then the varnish? Did you use a layer of fiberglass cloth with the epoxy?

Hello I used 4 coats of epoxy and 4 coats of captains varnish. I stopped there for one I felt that it was protected and two that there is sure to be more coats in the trailers future.( I hate sanding!!) The way I applied it was fairly fast I used a short nap foam roller and back brushed it with a 3"foam brush. Make sure to scrape out the air bubbles in the brush. Do only a two foot square at a time and keep a wet edge. And I don't know anything to make the sanding go faster. If you want a good job you have to put in the time. Anyway you will know when your trailer is done.-Wayne
