Varnish Pain

I've volunteered to varnish some pealed ceatoled teak wash boards for a friend.
How hard can it be?

It is turning out to be a project.
I scraped to wood. Sanded etc.
Followed the can directions, West Marine Epiphanies spar varnish.
4 buildup coats etc.

Any cool tips on how to support the boards so i can get all 6 sides at once.

I've been trying to do one side at a time and that is not working too well.

Also I'm using 220 paper dry for sanding between coats as per direction. A quarter piece lasts about 3/4 of a square foot and gets clogged. Is that about right?
What is good to clean off the dust before coating?
