7'0" Completed

I was able to get the wet sanding and polishing completed tonight.  I learned that the final gloss coat is not intended to be a "poor  it and hope she's perfect". I learned that you poor this coat as a coat that you really need to work over, ie. 400 grit dry, then 600 grit wet, then 1000 grit, then 1400 wet sand grit, and then the polishing with rubbing compound begins, and ultimately polish. I learned that wet sanding is best with a sanding block vs. electric sander, but the electric polisher is ideal for the compound and polish. 
Really looking forward to giving it a shot in the water soon!
