Is there anyone local that refinishes fighting chairs? I have a Pompano chair that needs to be done. I have taken it all apart and stripped the majority of it, but the finish isn't coming out like I want. Thanks for any help.

If it were me, I'd ship it to Release Marine and make a deal with them to fix it right. Those guys are pros.

But not cheap. If your hardware needs replating also it's about 3 grand or more. It will look like anew chair.

Nothing sandpaper stain and Poly wont fix.

I think Im done with the teak oil, Im going to stain and poly all my trim next time.

Sikkens Cetol is absolutley awesome. I put a satin finish on my Albe and it looks great. I love the stuff. You can do your boat excluding the swim platform with 1 quart for 3 coats. It will not chip like the varnish with the clear top and you dont have to complely strip it to touch up. Mine still looks new after 2 summers of outside storage.

I strongly recomend it in the satin finish, however i did not like the way the high gloss looked.

Thanks George

I just looked it up and it looks good.

Ill try it.

Are you just looking to restore the finish? You didn't mention whether it is teak or fiberglass which would require paint. I built my chairs with Rybovitch parts. I have to refinish and rewrap the upholstery from time to time . There is really nothing to doing this. Call me, David Wright @ 757-286-3842.

Can the sikkens cetol be applied to teak that has a sealer coat on it now?
