Maintenance of Wood
Hello Everyone,
My main hatch and forward are made out mahogany and Plexiglas. We had them installed several years ago. At that time, the builder had sanded and varnished them. We have not taken care of it until this year. We plan on sanding it this year and instead of using varnish we want to use Interlux Precote. Do you need to use Liquid 333 then apply Precote after sanding? Or, can you just apply Precote after sanding? Thanks |

Maintenance of Wood
So your going to paint precoat primer over varnished mahogany after many
seasons of no upkeep? Is the varnish still solid or has it chipped? If the varnish has chips or cracks in it I would recommend stripping the varnish off & priming the bare wood. The reason for this is, if the varnish has been compromised moisture will find it way in there & lift the varnish & the new paint that's over it. But if the varnish is still sound a heavy sanding & yes I would wipe with the 333 brushing liquid, to remove fine dust & it will help with bonding the precoat to the varnish.
