Hi All,
I searched the archives and saw a post by Dave Smith saying he had the varnish that is used on new C 34's but no mention of what it is. There were a few other posts but no mention of what Varnish Catalina uses. Since I know that element will be a part of my restoration of Voyager, does anyone happen to know what Varnish they used on 1997 Catalina 34's and where I can get some? That's at least one thing I can order now while I'm waiting for delivery. I did get a friend aboard and he thought some of the wood can be saved and just needs to be lightly sanded and varnished. I'd like to get a match to what Catalina uses.
Cap : Call Catalina and ask them. Parts may even sell you a can. :wink:
I have used Epifanes Satin and it matches perfectly.
Thanks Gary. I'll see if I can find it. Maybe it was just a few bad days when I called Catalina. I'll try again as I also need a plastic piece that goes at the base of the deck stepped mast (at least, I think there's a plastic piece that the mast sits on. When the yard removed the mast they were in a rush, and I doubt they took care of any little pieces. I heard from a friend that there were loose pins all around the deck, so I'll probably be missing some of those too. Just wont know till it gets here.
