My 94 37/40+ did not seem to be oiled, but rather sealed with lacquer. Using lacquer thinner and alcohol is enough to soften it/ use it as a remover. Following the with a furniture scraper or equipment was good enough to allow my to redcoat with lacquer.Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone -------- Original message --------From: Charlie Nelson via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Date: 2/11/20 5:10 PM (GMT-05:00) To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: cenel...@aol.com Subject: Stus-List Interior teak water stains My interior teak has never been varnished or polyurethaned (?)--It was originally oiled and I re-oiled it once or twice many years ago.
I would like to apply some Epiphanes to all of it--and there is a lot of it inside my 1995 C&C! However, much of it has 'water stains' from various leaks over the years--most of which are now sealed. My question for the list is how or whether to remove these stains--they are not like water marks left by a glass on a wooden table. They are mostly on vertical surfaces and run vertically. There are enough of them to make sanding them a formidable job so I want to be sure that sanding would be necessary. Some web videos show using heat (iron, blow dryers, etc.) to drive the remaining water out and make the stain disappear which is easy enough to try. Anyone on the list have suggestions to reduce the scale of this job--putting several coats of varnish on all of it would be a formidable job in itself--adding sanding to the surface prep, which I realize is probably the most important part of the job, could make it virtually impossible!
