[alberg30] brightwork

Sanders,

We used Sikkens for years.  In fact, we used one of the 
household-grade versions from the time before they came
out with a marine version.  It worked well for us with
the caveat that you have to get the wood scrupulously
clean before applying or it'll look grungy and blotchy.
We've since switched to Armada which we like even better.
Neither of these products are immune to total neglect,
though.  I've discovered that through careful experimentation.

 - George
