Hi,
I want to refinish the teak and holly cabin sole. I did a light sanding and applied two coats of semi-gloss varnish in the spring. It turned out pretty well, but looks slightly more opaque than I would like, due to the semi-gloss; it almost looks like a satin finish.
I don't want to use just high gloss as I think it would be too shiny and might also be slippery when wet.
So I am thinking of doing a light sanding and then applying a 50/50 mix of clear high gloss varnish and semi-gloss varnish. Is there any reason that this wouldn't work, ie. any incompatibility that would keep the two from mixing together properly? I don't want a streaky finish.
Thanks for any comments on this.
