To finish wood, the old formula of one part of pine tar, boiled linseed oil, turpentine and japan dryer is wonderful to work with. Squeegee it on, pick out the leafs and let it dry. To re coat, just paint on more and if you want, sand first. Smells great, is nice on the hands, low tech, easy to work and I have found it, non-slip. The ratio is not critical and can be adjusted as you decide more of one or the other is better; it will turn dark brown over time, because of the linseed oil. For a hard use area, such as the bottom of a dinghy, this is a great way to go because of the ease of maintenance.

Hi All

another question!

I have an older Achilles inflatable with 3 sections of plywood floor, which
I want to re-finish.

I think varnish is foolish, am hoping that pettit easy poxy might be a good
idea.

Have thought of west system & painting the top & edges for UV protection

Any ideas/methods?

Thanks
