Ok, so I finally decided to paint it with 2 coats toplac plus then varnished with one coat international varnish. Interesting to see how it will wear. I'm pleased with the appearance.

Just finished painting table with toplac plus 2 coats. Not perfect but better than the old top. Just wonder how well it will wear.

Looks fab but wouldn't fit.

Thanks very much for all your replies. The top veneer is thin has been compromised. The table top has a fracture crack in the middle. The shape of the table is too irregular with the four side fiddles for my limited skills so a complete replacement likely. I can reuse the side fiddles.50 years...

Reveneering the tabletop would not be cost effective and time consuming as it is not rectangular in shape. I'm only seeking a temporary one season solution so I'll paint with top coat then remove table end of season and replace with grade A marine teak ply. Thanks for all your suggestions.

Planning to temporary refurbish my marine ply varnished saloon table. I'm unable to rub down the current veneer as now too thin and would look terrible revarnished. Plan is to replace with new varnished ply later this season but wanted to paint it with a hard wearing paint as a stop gap. Any...

Thanks for your replies. Looks like I'll have to decomission the unit. Quite a messy job. Alternative is to remake the broken stub end.

Yeh. Not sure what pela out means. Spoke to my engineering friend and he says if you've never had a problem with blocked filters then leave well alone. I've never had any sign of water or sludge in my two filters so plan to carry on as before.

Thank you all for taking the time to reply. Lots of useful advice!

Thanks for all your replies. My tank is the original and designed for a less thirsty engine so I'm thinking of replacing the tank with a larger capacity.

Technol 246? Anyone had any experience with this fuel treatment available in the USA. I've a stainless steel fuel tank which may have some old sludge. I don't want to go to hastle of flushing out and I've never had any problems in 30 years but this might be the time to check. I've just fitted a...

Thanks for all your replies. I'm really trying hard to find the leaks source before I try anything else. It's proving a nightmare.

Well spotted!
