[Public-List] One more maintenance question - interior wood

[Amy & David Swanson]

Jim -

I didn't have as much trouble with it growing on the oiled wood as with it 
growing on the painted fiberglass, which seems counter-intuitive.  I have 
added a powered vent on my fore hatch which did not seem to help at all.  I 
spent some time yesterday cleaning some spots with TSP and with bleach, but 
did not get rid of the streaking.  I wiped some mineral spirits on it to see 
what it would look like with oil or a finish, and the streaks still showed 
through.  I am leaning toward a stain & poly finish (a matte finish one), 
let me know what you end up doing.
