[C320-list] Companionway hatch repair

[cdickhut2 at aol.com]

Jeff,
I purchase  varnish from Catalina Direct. Same varnish Catalina used on the interior (Target Coatings EM2000wvx) I refinished some of the trim inside. Sanded the trim and a couple of coats of the varnish. It matched perfectly.  I think the cost was about $26 for a pint.

Greg,

What did you use to refinish your hatchboards? Also, did you use a chemical stripper or sand them down? Mine are sitting in my basement waiting for me to select the proper stain/varnish. I have a 1994 with hull number 121. Dave Hupe has given me a few recommendations. I am wondering if anyone knows the exact stain/color/material? I have my Materials and Equipment Log sheet for the boat but it does not list hatchboards or ladder steps. It lists Sherman Williams sealer and finish, Satin #9921 for the cabin sole. It lists Eco, Water Base, Satin, for the interior varnish.

I will confess that I used an off-the shelf stain and then polyurethane for my ladder steps. They look okay but I would like to re-do these to match the hatchboards if I can find the right color.

Thanks,
Jeff, #121, ‘94
