Station wagon wood
I used a station wagon in a wedding this weekend. It rained and now the finish is bubbling. Previous owner did wood finish and have no idea what was used. Any suggestions?

Re: Station wagon wood
From what google can share sounds like it got mositure under the protectant or the temp change drew it out of the improperly prepped wood.

Re: Station wagon wood
I dont know how to tell you how to figure out what you had, sorry. I think if it was me I would try to talk to somebody with some experience with old wooden boats and try to find a fix or a better solution. Good Luck

Re: Station wagon wood
Thanks for the info. So far the plan is: let it dry out , take off old finish and use a marine varnish this time.

Bruce has what you want to use. They may have used an interior urethane previously, and therein could be the problem. Good Luck! |

Re: Station wagon wood
Agree Sounds like the station wagon was finished with an interior varnish/poly.
Best Marine varnish I have ever used is Epipanes. Expensive but with many coats it lasts and lasts. Read the instructions, put on 7 to 10 coats. Regular marine varnish is impacted with car wash soaps. Sitkins varnish is pretty good, but Epipanes is the very best. Jon |

Re: Station wagon wood
Go to Jamestown Distributors website. I found a lot of info on products there. I am re-finishing parts on my Huckster and am using Total Boat Gleam marine spar varnish. So far so good.

Re: Station wagon wood
Following, eventually building (recreating) a basket case AA huckster. Bright wood looks great but I’m wondering if paint would be more correct and maybe more durable on a huckster?

Re: Station wagon wood
Guys, Post #9 that brought up this 5 year old posting is SPAM. This poster (Erik Martin) is not speaking of a Model-A Station Wagon.

Re: Station wagon wood
'ctinin',
Feeling your pain... You might try a plastic credit card to scrape off the blistered varnish. When the card edge becomes dull, cut a fresh edge with a scissor. If the varnished lifted with water, try soaking an area and repeat scraping. I'd even try blasting it with an air hose to see if the varnish will flake off. Best. |
