: Hi Rob,
: I don't have a problem with Hull/Deck. I overlap in a ~2mm region about
: 3/4" below the shear line.
: If I follow your varnishing instruction, I seperate the deck and hull in
: ~12"-16" wide sections. I start with one section on the left
: then do the right and continue to alternate. When I come back for the
: adjacent 12-16" section my varnish doesn't flow perfectly into the
: previous section and when you look shallow enough you can see a small
: step. It takes very little to sand it out - but you can see it. It takes
: me about 45 min to varnish the hull and I use ~150 ml of varnish.

That's what I thought. What kind of varnish are you using?
I use unthinned Z-spar Captian's varnish and do not have that problem.
Your varnish should remain liquid, long enough for you to drag a
new wet edge into the older varnish and have them melt together.
It is imperative that you keep your varnish from drying out in the can.
Look at the suggestions I have for this on my varnish technique in the Archives.
Then you can thin your varnish using the high quality red label mineral spirits
meant to be used as a paint thinner as opposed to the blue label mineral spirits
meant as a brush cleaner.
