Refinish weathered phenolic?
I have a couple of phenolic winches and blocks on the sailboat I am
refurbishing. They work just fine, but their surfaces are rough and weathered. I am pretty sure they were originally smooth. Anyone know anything about whether they can/should be refinished, and if so, with what? Bob Swarts |

Bob,
I'm not completely sure, but I would think that a coating of clear polyurathane varnish, or even a tung based varnish might do the trick. I would test a little piece with the clear poly first to be sure that there is no reaction between the two materials. If it works, that would be my choice, as it would give an extremely shiny, hard-wearing surface. Good luck -Eli Robert or Karen Swarts wrote: I have a couple of phenolic winches and blocks on the sailboat I am refurbishing. They work just fine, but their surfaces are rough and weathered.
