Does anyone just oil their wood? If so, what do you use? For the wood that has been neglected in the past and developed ridges, do you fill the valleys?

Derek, Thanks for the info, I would prefer to remove the bright work vs refinish in place. I did try to remove the companion way hatch slides last fall with out success. The screws came out easy but I could not remove either the outside or interior pieces. I am guessing that they were glued and screwed. Anyone have any feed back on this presumption? Also I see you have removed the trim work for the port and starboard sided (over the instruments in the attached photos) Mine appear to be screwed on from the outside but the screws appear to have been counter sunk and plugged. I can only assume that one needs to carefully dig or drill out the plugs to access the screws. Any thoughts on that one? -----Original Message----- From: Derek Atkin <atkin...@yahoo. com> To: ic...@yahoogroups. com Sent: Thu, Dec 31, 2009 9:39 am Subject: Re: [IC27A] Bright Work I find the results are much better and easier if you remove what you can off the boat: http://www.opus45. com/pics/ c27_brightwork2. jpg I got everything off by the companionway slides. Most of it just comes off with screws, and needs a little sealant to re-bed back into the boat. All of mine was neglected and needed to be sanded in order for it to look good.: Before: http://www.opus45. com/pics/ c27_brightwork_ before.jpg After: http://www.opus45. com/pics/ c27_brightwork_ after.jpg The stuff I used is called Penofin Marine Oil Finish: http://www.penofin. com/products_ marine.shtml I used Sikens on my Boston Whaler and it is just to thick, it really covers up the wood. This Penofin is much easier to work with, looks hand rubbbed when dry and protects the wood just as well. I bought a gallon for $46 at a local paint store and have used maybe 1/8 of it on the boat so far.

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.

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?
