This was a big job! A big thank you to Robert on Datenight for all of his help and guidance! This was a full on restore as we took off the carpets in the Pilothouse and saloon. The underlay,in the saloon was glued down and it was a tedious job to remove as it came up in 1" pieces. The finish was completely removed with 40 grit and finish sanding progressively with 80 and 120 grit sanding discs. I was able to remove all scratches and all but a few gouges. I used a sharp 1" and 2" scrapers to remove finish at the edges and under counters. All work was with a 5" orbital sander with a shop vac attachment, and dust was virtually absent. Hand sanding between coats with 150 grit paper. Three coats of Poloplaz supreme satin applied with a 4" bristle brush. It's a bonus when it exceeds the Admiral's expectations.
