Hi All,

It's time to re-finish my Mahogany (winter project). My usual method is to strip off the old polyurithane with "Zip Strip" chemical paint remover, wash, sand, and stain with "Zar" Dark Mahogany stain (I like the look of the darker wood). I then apply about 6 coats of "ZAR" (Marine Rated) "Gloss" Polyurithane, sanding between coats, and cleaning between coats with mineral spirits soaked on a lint free rag. I only get a few seasons out of this finish as my boat is moored uncovered, and totally exposed to "Sun", "Rain", "Salt", and "Sandy sneakers". I've never used "Varnish" before, and was just wondering what "tricks" or "products" that others use to re-finish the bright work on their boat, does anything last longer than the way that I do it ?

Thank's,

Matt
