Ultimate Sole is an excellent choice.  I did my sole three years ago,  still 
looks great.  If you have questions, they are very helpful...I even  talked to 
the chemist who put it together.

Subject: [C320-list] Refinishing  the cabin sole


Time to refinish the cabin sole.  WindSwept is  a 1995 model and through the
years the sole has taken its share of hits  from falling tools, has worn
spots, and has a minor amount of damage at the  edges of the removable
sections along the centerline.



Having  said that it doesn't look really bad and I am not looking for a
perfect job  either.  I'd like to improve the appearance and delay  further
deterioration. 



Through the years I have read others  advice on this subject.  I searched the
forums on the website this  morning but didn't find anything there.



If someone has a thread  or writeup on this that has already been written
could you please  resend?



Recently I read Catalina uses a different varnish on  the salon floor and the
other interior teak.  The email identified the  varnish for the other
surfaces, but not the salon floor.  What is the  varnish used on the floor?



Regarding the dents, scratches and  other damage - I am interested in the
"tips of the trade" used by others to  fix these areas.  I know that sanding
them out is not an option  because of the thin laminated teak and holly
layer.  I saw a  demonstration at the Miami boat show a few years ago where
dents were fixed  by dripping a small amount of varnish off a brush into  the
depression.  Just enough to bring it back level with the  surrounding
surface.  This was done with an oil based high gloss  varnish from a specific
manufacturer.  I don't remember which  one.  Has anyone used a similar
technique on their  floor?
