[Public-list] Cabin Sole Finish Options

[David Fisher]

I don't know Armada, but my experience of Cetol is that the colour indeed is 
a bit odd.  It ends up a rather artificial orange, ok in strong light from a 
distance, but probably not too good for the interior where you'll have to 
look at it.
