Woodwork protection

[Graham_Wright]

Any recommendations please for protecting non-cosmetic woodwork in the cabin? I am referring to that beneath the sole and inside lockers etc where appearance doesn't matter as it does for the visible stuff.

Paint, B&Q "yacht varnish"?

Thanks in advance.

Bilge paint (e.g. "Danboline") beneath the sole, inside lockers I use white gloss: easier to see if it needs de-mildewing, etc. than varnish. Anywhere else, and I wouldn't bother with anything at all. The builders didn't, and most of it's lasted 40-odd years so far.

For a life times no hassle.

Use an epoxy resin such as west, east etc. Make sure the the wood is completely dry and free of dirt, oil and contaminates A good sand helps.

You need to thin the epoxy resin for it to penetrate better. See the manufactures instructions for whats best and how to apply. Its quite easy.

Good Luck.

Good luck.
