I redid the cabin sole on Alianna about 6 years ago. It is teak and holy and it is glued down. I removed the old finish with chemical (methylene chloride gel) stripper and a simple scraper. Then a very light sanding with 220 grit, clean the dust finishing with a solvent wetted rag. I applied only 1 coat of Sikkens cetol marine protective translucent finish for boats with a brush and I did the whole thing at once exiting the boat from the hatch in the v berth. I have done nothing more since then. The sole has been wet from taking showers and from the normal amount of water that gets in on your gear. If I get real ambitious I may give it a light sanding and another coat before launch this year but it could and probably will do without that. I did not want a shiny finish and I did not get a glass like look.I got more of a natural oiled wood look. I am pleased with the job, much better than before I did it. Some like shiny, everyone to their own I guess. I do have a problem, not from the refinish but because on my 35 MKII waters seems to get under the sole from somewhere and accumulate right at a junction in the sole on the starboard side forward of the nav table. That has caused a darkened and slightly damaged (separated laminate) of a few square inches in that spot only and is not related to the coating that I used. It is not yet worth the effort or cost of redoing as far as I am concerned. I will try to some in situ repair if I do the recoat.

I used it on a piece of holly teak sole once. 4 days later I installed the piece and stepped on it. Left a permanent shoeprint. Applied another coat and put a heater in the boat for a week. Still felt soft. It finally dried enough so shoes didn't mark it. Your experience may vary. I'd opt for varnish. Dennis C.

My understanding is that with the epoxy the only real purpose of the varnish is to provide UV protection. Am I missing something?
