[C320-list] Refinish salon table top and salon wall wood

[Jeff Smith]

David,

Here is what Catalina Direct says about interior varnishes, including bulkheads and tables. https://www.catalinadirect.com/interior-finish-history/ <https://www.catalinadirect.com/interior-finish-history/> 

To all - thanks for the suggestions. It looks like Teak Oil or Minwax Helmsnan (Spar Urethane I am guessing) is the way to go.

Jeff, ’94, #121

Same for the flagpole on the aft rail, which gets a lot more UV exposure than the hatch, which is protected by the dodger.

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.
