HighPlainsDrifter	06/21/2011 08:25PM   Seems like I am the only one posting in the builders group. Where is everyone? I was given a tip (from Ken Koscik) on how to get a smooth feel to the last varnish coat (laying low the dust bunnies)....... using low tech. I am going to give it a try....... have nothing to lose but a paper bag. Brown paper bag trick
jdevries	06/22/2011 09:52AM   Great tip! JD

HighPlainsDrifter	06/23/2011 09:35PM   I tried the trick on cured "13-day-old-varnish". Basically the trick works as advertised. I will go no further on working this hull. Today, I took my Merlin down to the "cop-shop" to have my HIN verified. Tomorrow, I'll get my sticker and then she gets launched.
