Interior finish of 1986 CD36?
Hello:
Does anyone know what types of varnish were originally used on a 1986 Cape Dory 36?
We are preparing to refinish the interior wood and don't have a clue as to what product to use (best and most durable)?
Questions in our mind: Gloss vs Satin; Number of coats; etc..
Thanks,

I was looking for that piece you wrote and could not find it. It is an excellent thread with great photos and explanations.
Thanks so much,

What's the recommendation for cleaning up the interior teak? My 27 teak is very dark and dull and I can't quite figure out where to even start.

I recommend you start a new thread on this topic. I am sure you'll get plenty of comments. A good place to start is the book "Brightwork, The Art of Finishkng Wood" by Rebecca J. Whitman

My 1984 CD36 interior was finished by the factory with a very nice and smooth satin varnish that has held up quite well after all these years. It gives the interior a "hint of sheen" that reflects the light better then an oil finish with out being too flashy if it was gloss. I figure it has at least three coats, maybe more on the high use areas like doors and horizontal rails.
I would suggest that you purchase a high quality interior varnish or polyurethane and test it out on the inside of the hanging locker and see how it looks. With any varnish job the secret to success is in the preparation. I also second John Stones suggestion of Whitman's book.
