[C320-list] Catalina 320; interior varnish refinish

[Timothy Woods]

The previous owner left a can of Oxford Ultima Varnish.(satin) It's made by
Target Coatings and says it's a waterborne hybrid whatever that is. I've
touched up under the port lights twice and seems to match. It did turn
darker by one of the screws.

Good luck, Tim
