Bruce, Rod, Et Al Here is a link to some pictures of my Lonseal cabin sole install. Cabin Sole
Sorry Rod I down race so I can’t answer your questions. My opinion; the product itself is a superior vinyl product and with proper installation there should be no issue. That being said if you drop something the Lonseal will hold up well but the substrate may dent and be visible. Some tips Design substrate (plywood) with as few seams as possible. Router bottom outsides edges with ½” router Apply a minimum of 2 coats of epoxy to all pieces on all sides Roll out the Lonseal on a solid flat surface (living room floor) upside down then lay plywood upside down in the pattern it will be applied. Cut Lonseal at least 1” larger than required on all side. Makes it easier to install and easier to trim after glue is set. Tape joints like you would with drywall. I didn’t. Use j-roller instead of recommended 100 lb. roller. See mod I made to j-roller so I could apply more weight Follow gluing instructions to the letter especially the off gassing. I didn’t and some bubbles occurred that couldn’t be rolled out. Use router with edge trimmer to cut bilge ports. I was lucky that my sole was a bit narrower than the LonSeal. Just ensure the pieces in the v-berth and the small piece in the galley lines all line up. Same thing for the bilge access ports. I had to make a small lengthwise cut around the mast truck to fit around the centreboard tube. It can’t be seen unless you really look for it.

As much as I am a traditionalist, ease of repair my win out. I'd really like to know if you can notice a distinct difference between this and real teak. Thanks!

There are areas where the holly stripes and are gone or pulling away. I am considering what to do and have a vague recollection of someone using a glue-on faux teak/holley covering over the wood (Nautikflor?) but I can’t find that discussion anywhere in the archives. Has anyone done that?
