 Bamboo No Bargain 2022 Part 2

Now was time to start Sanding.

Inner Sanded

 

I had to Sand very hard to try and get the Mould off. It took several attempts to get the majority of it off. I also had to push a Grip through the Holes to get rid of bits of loose Bamboo.

X Sanded

 

After Sanding the Inside I started on the Outside. This took a long time as I realised I had pressed too hard with the Pencil. The X even after lots of Sanding still showed through.

Get Varnish

 

I found my tin of Varnish. Unfortunately it was quite old and before I could even attempt any Varnishing I was going to have to give it a good stir to get rid of the lumps.

I decided to start with the Grills. This meant very careful Brushing as I didn’t want excess to Drip to the other side.

First Inner Varnish

 

I Varnished all of the Inner side of both Bamboo Dishes. I had to let them dry before I could move on.

Hold to Varnish

 

I found the best way to Varnish the Outside was to hold it with my fingers on the Inside of the Corners. That way I could do the Sides at the same time.

First Outer Varnish

 

I finished the First Coat of the Varnish on the Outer side. I also turned the Grills over and did those. In the photograph above you can see part of the Grill Holder.

I had realised that I had made a mistake when Gluing. Consequently I had to break it apart again.
