• ever hear of Le Tonkinois varnish?
  • You might check the UV resistance
  • A very well known and respected boatyard in Maine
    • In Maine -- who cares about UV resistance? :^)))) Short Season.
      • I don't know, you could still be in the water today.
        • You could :^)))), I could (whether our wives would is a seperate issue)... But most boats don't get the same wear in ME.
  • As I understand it, it's more of a "varnish oil" than a typical varnish as we think of it.
    • That is why I am interested in it...
      • If you want 'smooooooth', then spray the final coat.
  • I've heard of it, but have no experience Gene.
  • I use it and like it....
    • Hmmm. Might work on our Sabre, too!
      • Yes, I used it on all exterior teak on the boat including toerails.
        • Kitchen decided on mineral oil..food grade?
          • No...waterlox
    • Wow, looks quite nice...
  • I've been using it for years
    • Phil thanks for the info and the WONDERFUL pic.
      • thanks. Lake Dillon is a beautiful and sometimes exciting place to sail.
    • Always love pictures of that boat. You use Original or Number One? Same question for Jeff.
      • I used Number 1 for one year and switched to Original afterwards
      • I've always used 'Original'.
      • Ask two sailors a question; get two answers...
    • Dillon
      • Nice!
