Francois, Cabin Sole: The Best Practice method is to seal the wood w clear epoxy; the bottom gets three coats and one or two coats on top side. Then varnish the topside as a wearing surface. There are varnishes that are shiny and not so slippery.
When refinishing the sole, the top surface veneer is paper thin. There are usually places where it's worn through and sanding these will make it worse. Best to keep expectations low and cleanup what you have and seal and refinish it as best you can. Then protect the completed surface with towels or carpet.

I was going to replace mine until I read this article: http://morgan38.org/discus/messages/1/Saving_your_Teak___Holly_Sole-19585.pdf I also bought teak strips to fill in dings (cheap) It's on my "todo" now. I was considering epoxy / polyurethane but after discussing with my professional wood worker buddy will use Interlux Perfection Plus for the finish (Coating both sides) Just a thought.. -Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, GA _______________________________________________ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
