Vern,

 

I forgot, if you start with bare wood. Warning ASCII art.

 

 ------        -------

       |____|

 

Imagine this is the wood with the soft grain below the harder wood.
(which is why you never use a brush on wood and why cutting with a
scraper helps)

 

After the first coat of varnish a light sanding to get rid of the
fuzziness that rises is all you need.

Then do not sand again until this happens.

 

-------      --------

       |___|

------        -------

       |____|

 

Where the top of the varnish over the low spots is higher than the top
of the harder wood.

 

Then you can sand flat!  Be careful not sand down to bare wood at the
high spots.

Subject: [Liveaboard] Mahogany Finish

 

What would be the best thing to use on my exposed mahogany?  I don't
want to mess with something like Cetol that is going to look like crap
and have to be fully stripped every year.  I always used to use teak oil
on my teak.  Should I do the same with the mahogany?

Also are there any water safe paint strippers out there?  

Thanks,

Vern
