I've recently looked at an AWB that has a problem with the varnished wooden surfaces in the cabin. Possibly caused by moisture droplets in the varnish, it's probably best described as though drops of nail varnish remover have fallen on the surfaces and lifted the top layer of lacquer, finger nail sizes.

Brushing over with yacht varnish, I guess, would look a bit like the proverbial "dog's dinner!" Does anyone have any experience of how to make good these surfaces? I imagine that spraying would be required but I'd appreciate any advice on preparation, sanding just the area or the whole of the offending surface. How do you get into the edges and keep the job looking neat?

Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
