   I know the feeling.
   It took 14 coats to achieve a finish close to what I wanted. Still not 100% Happy.

   I used a Pettit Product called Lust.
   Would not use again. Would use Pettit's Captains Varnish.
   Sounds like dust might be your problem.
   I always lightly wipe done with a Tack rag immediately before varnishing
   even then it is difficult to eliminate all dust
   I would love to see your Riva finished😊😊

   Hi shipmate, can l ask what type/ make of varnish you were using im trying to finish of my riva, l must have coated it at least six times and rubbed it back down six times l was unhappy with the finish always looked as tho it had fine grains of dust or something in the dried varnish.
   can l throw it out to one and all who,s make of clear varnish is the best l know that may be a very debateable topic but You cant have a Riva or chriscraft varnish finish looking speckled.
   Stay safe everybody. Jim

   Many Thanks!!
   14 coats of brushed on varnish sanded with 400 grit between coats. Final coat brushed on.
   If I sprayed the final coat I would have to rub it out. To me a brushed on coat should come out like glass

   Fantastic finishing, well done and nicely presented. What was your procedure for obtaining the varnish finish.

    Well I'm lost for the right words, that's one fantastic looking model.
    Be proud shipmate, you've excelled with your skill and detail finish.
    Cheers Colin.
