columbia 10.7 rehab log entry #11 Varnishing the teak

Varnishing the interior teak wood....

Now that I have decided to lay the new Allure floor, I am going to varnish all the wood with a spar varnish. I am beginning with the lower area of interior near the floor so I can lay the floor and not have to worry about getting varnish on the new wood.

I am going to take a 220 grit sandpaper to all of the teak in the boat and carefully varnish the teak wood panels and trim, giving a light sanding between coats.  This will probably take 4 or 5 coats and I am going to use a low sheen spar varnish...

I am not looking forward to this as it is a job and a half, but it has to be done and will make the interior sparkle.

I will post before and after pics when I get into the project.
