 Topic: Restoring worn stepsPosted: 22 July 2024 at 12:07 |

Today is nineteen years ago to the day that I stepped on the companionway ladder for the first time. That was a big day for me! Not only stepping on the ladder for the first time of cours, but to take commission of my boat.
The steps look as in the picture below and I will start restoring them as soon as I get back home from sailing. As I at this moment have few clues how to go about in the most accurate way I thought I'd ask for advice and see if anyone else has got through this process already. I don't even know what paint to use. Johan

If I was going to use a clear finish i would use sadolins PV67. I have used it on my oak stairs for the last 20 years plus, I refurbished 14 tables in our sailing club some years ago Inspite of the hard use they get, they are still as good as ever. I have also used it on some bar tops, laboratory counters & reception desks that I have supplied with success. It is supplied as a floor finish & comes in gloss, semi gloss & matt. Obviously you need to sand off & prepare from bare wood first.

That seems a good varnish, Samuel. It however appears that you cannot find it in Sweden. Buggers.

This one may even be better, I used the transparant one on the handlebars of my dodger:

I think this discussion raises another question that I didn't think of before.
Since there seems to be a choice between one part and two part varnishes, I wonder what Hanse used? Does anyone know? And does i matter when refurbishing the interior? (Perhaps not when sanding do the bare wood, but if in places you just want to put a new coat on top of the old one?) Johan |

Johan,
When I first got my boat, there were a couple of chips in the interior varnish and the Hanse UK dealers were able to get me small tins of the varnish which was two pack. What I have since established is that the interior wood on my boat is beech and that it’s first coated with a clear two pack and then a pigmented two pack varnish. I still haven’t been able to source the colour code for the pigmented varnish, which for my boat is the high gloss cherry from 2005. Simon

I am beginning to realise that "two pack" means the same as "two component". So that answers my question really. Two pack it should be. I find it interesting that you can pigment the varnish. I will keep that in mind. I am also going to refurbish the saloon table that has burn marks from tea lights that I put in a muffin mould when my boat was new. I realised too late that it would get too hot on the underside.  Johan Edited by Johan Hackman - 27 July 2024 at 10:29 |

Johan,
The big problem I’ve had is identifying the colour code for the pigmented varnish. The small touch up tins that I got from the dealer had no markings on them and have long since been used up. I managed to get a varnish mixed that was close by a firm in Dublin, but it’s still not right. I’m sure there is someone on the forum that would know the pigment codes or a source for the varnishes used. Simon

I ordered my boat with synthetic rattan in the cupboard doors. They lasted seven years. I then cut out pieces of mahogany plywood which I stained an put varnish on. My aim was to get the same colour but they turned out darker, which made them even look better.
So in my situation, if the steps turn out darker than before this would not be such a great deal. Johan  Emilia's interior today  The synthetic rattan in 2012 |
