Varnishing begins

Over the past two weeks I have completed wiring up the shed's lights and power outlets, getting bits and pieces where I want them, and varnishing the wing over several nights prior to forming the plywood leading edge and enclosing the "box" forward of the spar.

Two coats forward and one coat behind. Second coat behind after the box is formed and the wing is turned horizontal to make the ailerons and add the control cable hardware. Varniish is West System eopxy varnish 105 with 25% 205 hardener.
