Polishing Wood for Rowing Shells

The finish on your boat's interior determines both its longevity and its aesthetic appeal.

Choosing the Right Finish

• Select a marine varnish with UV inhibitors to prevent yellowing over time.
• Choose between a high-gloss finish for a sleek look or a semi-gloss for easier maintenance.
• Ensure the finish is specifically rated for wet environments.

Application Process

• Apply thin coats using a high-quality brush to avoid drips and bubbles.
• Allow each coat to dry completely before sanding with fine-grit sandpaper.
• Apply a final coat of wax to protect the varnish from scratches and scuffs.

A well-finished interior enhances the overall experience of the rowing shell.
