I did the same thing this offseason Chuck - fabricated a half-dozen 4&3/4” x 1&3/4" x 1/4" teak shims to sit on edge in the mast box so I could fine-tune the fore-and-aft position of my mast base (and I think I’ve got it 1/4” too far aft this season). Since I had Cetol Marine Natural Teak and Gloss on hand from other brightwork projects, I just went ahead and finished my shims with that.
