The interior wood in my boat around the companionway, that gets more exposure to sun and weather, is not as "bright" and warm in appearance as it is further inside. So I'm going to try to refinish it this Spring. But I don't know how you're really supposed to do this. My initial approach will be to take the parts off, clean them with oil soap and 3M pads, or steel or bronze wool, and sand if needed, then re-finsh with a Watco oil. In this area I think I'll use one of their oils that's intended for exterior use like the guardsman oil was. The nav table appears to have a finer, harder finish, so I'll burnish it by wetsanding using 400 or 600 grit sandpaper with the oil. A friend told me not to use teak cleaner on the interior wood. I'd sure welcome tips from those of you who have done this and are pros at it. |
