varnish this weekend

[Romeo]

So, most of the prep work is done, and if it is a reasonable day tomorrow I should press ahead and get the first coat of varnish on. The boat is outside. There isa volcano erupting in iceland. Should I delay my work? Is there no risk of a layer of ash landing on the decks? If it does, should I just treat it as a useful non slip additive?

I'd be more worried about the flies .

agree, seems to be lots of the wee XXXXXXX about with this warm weather, I will be varnishing the cruiser doors inside in the lounge & dining room, on the tables......

IMHO the ash will stay airborne until it rains when it will make my freshly painted decks mucky :-(

If it's a first coat then don't worry, any light dust/ash will get sanded off in prep for the next coat.
Cheers,

Mrs Tremlett away this weekend by any chance?

Quite windy and not all that warm here today, so might leave it anyway and get on with other stuff. Flies are not too prevalent here yet, but little bits of blossom get blown of my neighbours tree, grr.....

Yeh I agree with this statement...... but I now think that they add to the final coat, give them a rub and the legs tend to blend in with the wood grain. OK thats my excuse and like the flies I'm "sticking" to it, get it......eh !
