Why do you think he asked you?

It is turning out to be a project.
Your friend already knew this.

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.
No
Quote:
I've been trying to do one side at a time and that is not working too well.
Be careful not to have any drips on the sides.

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?
Yup.
Quote:
What is good to clean off the dust before coating?
Tack rag.
