[alberg30] Re: Refinishing Cabin Sole

[Jacques Guerette]

I redid my sole about 3 years ago using Sikkens Interior Varnish.  It is
designed to be somewhat less glossy than a typical varnish but stands up
very well to abuse.  I know this because my dog loves to swan dive from the
cockpit onto the cabin floor.  There are a few claw marks but nothing major
after two years of "dog use".  I agree with Lee's comments about a slippery
floor....very dangerous!
