Hiya,
I'm restoring a double-diagonal teak built Seaplane Tender (probably a Walton Yacht Works boat from about 1935 - if anybody can help with info, I'd be very appreciative) and I'm stripping the layers and layers of ancient, multicoloured paint from the hull. I was told by an "old salt" (beard, oilers, pipe etc) that I should "paint" the hull with a mixture of linseed oil and turpentine once I was back to the wood.
Is that right? And if it is, in what proportions should I mix this unlikely potion? What does it do?
Any help will be much appreciated,
All the best,
Paul
