I just completed refinishing the bright work of this classic Ketch! It took me thirty days to strip, prep and varnish with six coats. In addition to varnishing I caulked where the bright work met the deck. This will help with water going under neith the teak. This was a big project and I was pleased the progress. My process is very efficient, long lasting and very cost effective comparatively speaking! Give a call to talk about your boats bright work⛵️
