Any real sailor would throw your paint and shiny **** out the hatch.
lime, oil and wax the bloody wood and be done with it. its cleanable
easy on the eyes and cheap. and it takes about 30 min to apply. its
not going to choke you out with fumes nore make your eyes water. if
you dont have to have the filtered bees wax it will cost about 5
dollers to make up enough to coat your cabin.

Uggh!

Used to do oil and wax finishes on furniture that lasted decades (have
examples next to me 30 years old), but after trying it on Xan, I
stripped everything and varnished.
