varnish woes..

 

Woops. Those deep checks need to be filled before the varnish goes on. Finish can't really act as a filler there. You might try to spot the dips with varnish for a few days but keep in mind as the stuff builds up it gets slow to dry. We've got time before launch though! If I was in a hurry I would belt sand it all off and go again. I would fill with one of those acetone type putties like Famowood.
 

Bob these are the back part (inside) of the rail. So won't be seen. Could I spot grind those areas, then fill/varnish?

Thx.

Hi Rick,
Yes, go ahead and spot sand and fill the checks. One hint for fillers; try to make sure you don't use a lighter color to fill with. It's much less distracting to use filler slightly darker than the surrounding area.
