Can anyone tell me what the
interior woodwork finish is on the 80’s Freedoms? I am told it might be
Watco teak oil mixed with varnish???
Thanks

It is Waco natural oil, available at ACE and Home
Depot. You may find that due to aging of existing ash ceiling battens, the wood
may have darkened and you may want to blend in some darker Waco color to get a good match. The Waco is the finish on the
ash ceiling battens, etc. On the teak components the boats came either oiled or
varnished teak. As I added teak trim and accessories to my 87 Mull F28, some of
the teak just needed oil to match, however, I needed a custom blended stain to
get some of the teak lumber to match the 20 year old “aged” finish
of the interior. Have fun, it is art!

Thanks everyone yes I think I heard the name Watco or
Waco?? Hopefully still available from HD etc—but judging by the sheen it
must have been mixed with varnish no?
Anybody know about this?

According to Paul Dennis, the old
production manager at Freedom, it was straight Watco Natural.

It’s Watco Oil. The natural color used to be known as “Watco Danish Oil”. Frankly I’ve had variable results when using Watco on custom furniture. It always toughens the surface of the wood and sometimes it will also leave a hard shiny protective surface on top. When it does that I think it is the best finish of all - combining the virtues of an catalyzing oil and a hard varnish. Other times it doesn’t seem build up a gloss finish and what I end up with is more like a medium rubbed oil finish. Still usable, but different.
The best results seem to be when I apply it twice a few days apart - both times flooding the surface and then wiping off the excess after it stands for half an hour.
Someone said that wood finishing is an art form.
Truly it is…Roger

That’s what I used when I refinished
the interior wood. The professional (artist) at the boatyard used it for its
finish and ease of use.
Its great and you can get matt or gloss
finish or mix them together for your preference. Using a rag works fine a brush
is good if you want a heavier coat.

The previous owner of my boat redid all the woodwork in my boat-it is beautiful. He used Z-Spar Polyurethane Clear Varnish. Scott of “Girlfriend” saw it and liked it.“Roger L.” <rogerlov@…> wrote: It’s Watco Oil. The natural color used to be known as “Watco Danish Oil”.
