tape before you sand, if you believe in sanding. I prefer to use a Sikens or Armada non sand finish. No where as beautiful as varnish, but a lot less effort required to protect brightwork.

Well, you can tell the type of Christmas I am enjoying -- sitting around thinking about sailing. This spring will be time to take care of some neglected outside bright work. First I need to strip the old stuff off. I need suggestions and recommendation of the best way (inexpensive, little manual labor, and tidy) to do it. I think removing the wood work is not an option. What is the magic solution?
