2 weeks ago we removed the peeling varnish from the companionway hatch surrounds on my Westerley Berwick. We were planning to coat in epoxy then varnish, but didn’t have any of the West 207 UV stabilised hardener and local chandlers didn’t have any. We are now running out of time before our first trip at Easter. So, could we get away with tung oil on hatch surrounds or is the wear too high with hatch boards going in and out? If too high a wear area I guess we will have to leave it bare for a while until we have the time to epoxy and varnish.
