I'd love to see some pics and get some input. I have mine sealed and am trying to decide whether to go that route or stick with varnish, which is what I know, but will take many coats to fill the grain and get the finish I want. By the way, I am a big fan of gloss finish on the floorboards. Yes they are more slippery than non-skid or unfinished boards, but I'm not considering those options... and it's not like our boats have acres of cabin sole on which to achieve a decent velocity. And gloss sure is pretty! cheers Andy C&C 40 Peregrine On Fri, Feb 1, 2013 at 9:16 AM, Bill Connon <billcon...@navigue.com> wrote: Joel Aronson wrote: I'm applying epoxy to the topside of the sole using West 105 and 207.

The first year at layup, I removed the boards and made temporary ones out of 1/2"presswood. I store the teak and holly in the basement until after the new year. The undersides get a good check up for damage from water/humidity from the bilge. Bottom and edges are kept well sealed. On the topside I give a light sanding and then a thin coat of Minwax - Helmsman - Spar Urethane - Clear Gloss. The result is a hard, shiny finish which is not slippery when wet. Floor finish is a matter of taste but I get a lot of compliments over the appearance of my floorboards.
