Early in the day, I lightly sanded the galley front panels and shelving, then applied a sealer coat of varnish to all sides of each piece.
While the varnish dried enough for me to handle the pieces, I took care of other preparations in the galley, including removing the masking and preparing additional support cleats for the bulkheads. With preparations complete, but not yet ready to install the varnished shelving and panels, I moved on and finished up, finally, removing the excess bungs from the main cabin cabinetry and port forward bulkhead.
With that complete, I lightly sanded the four beadboard bulkheads, as well as the remaining settee backs and cabinetry, to prepare these areas for varnish. I wanted to protect the unfinished beadboard with a sealer coat before continuing with other work.
By now, the varnish had dried enough on the panels to allow me to continue with final installation, beginning with some of the shelving.
With the first two shelves in place, I installed the transverse after bulkhead above the galley, using epoxy adhesive against the hull and beneath the deck, and glue and screws elsewhere as required. Then, I installed the final shelf in the starboard after compartment.
I completed the installation with the longitudinal panel, securing it to the cleats with glue and screws. Afterwards, I bunged the screw holes.
After cleaning up, I applied a sealer coat of varnish to all the beadboard, and a second coat to the other areas in the main cabin, specifically the settee back and locker cabinetry.
