Purpose: Continue Cockpit Refinishing Project -- Continue Wood Refinishing
Complement: Yoni Bresler
Weather: Low to mid 50's

  • Lightly sanded cockpit seats and companionway trim with 400 grit. The 220 grit recommended in the Application Instructions seemed to remove too much material.
  • Removed sanding dust from cockpit seats and companionway trim using a hot wet rag -- NOT a tack rag.
  • Applied seventh and final coat of Awlwood clear gloss to cockpit seats and companionway trim. This coat required less material. Expect that this trend will continue as the surface becomes smoother. Three ounces was just a little bit more than needed.
  • Next steps:
    • Apply eighth and final coat to cockpit locker seat lids and companionway trim.
    • Apply second coat to inboard surface of coamings and icebox lid.
    • Apply Brightside to companionway rim and ruddershaft penetration.
