I think mine is the same as yours, almost as though they maybe used a rubbed oil finish, as you can feel the grain, and despite the wear, there are no chips where varnish has come off. It is teak, but very light colored. Thus the lack of clarity on my part as to what to do.

I, also, wonder what I would use to match the color.

Use varnish for cabin sole every 5 years or so. Use Cetol for top of companionway steps every 3 years or so. All works just great with great results John and MaryannLegacy III1982 C&C 34Noank, CT From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrew Burton via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2018 10:24 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Andrew Burton Subject: Re: Stus-List Refinishing interior woodwork (not cabin sole) Bruce, if you're going to all that work, I would varnish. No oil is going to last and it leaves the veneer subject to water intrusion, which will stain the teak. First, I'd try to clean the old lemon oil off with alcohol, then sand with 180 grip paper, apply a sealer coat (I like Pettit Clear Sealer), allow that to dry, then apply a coat of Epiphanes Wood Finish Gloss (bring money) for it's durability and UV resisting properties, Then brush on a coat of Epiphanes Rubbed Effect varnish, which is a really forgiving finish that gives off a beautiful lustre.You can varnish over most teak oils.Peregrine was done that way before I got her and in the five years I had her the finish still looked terrific. The only maintenance was a wipe-down with vinegar and water every now and then.

Does anyone know what type of varnish, lacquer or other treatment was used originally by C&C to finish the interior woodwork? I'm talking vertical surfaces, the nav table, etc., and I'd really like to match the interior look it had when it came out of the showroom so I don't have to refinish every square inch. What should I use to remove the existing coating (if I should remove it at all), and what would you recommend for a new coating? I've used lemon oil before, but it seems to turn the wood dark over time. I'm thinking Danish Oil, but I really don't know enough to make an informed decision. Thanks for the insights!
