This
photo is of the cabinet under the chart shelf & TV area on an
Antares 44i. As you can see, the finish is irregular - some dull, some satin or shiny. We're not sure how that happened, but we'd love to hear from other
Antares owners if they experienced this, and how they fixed it.
We've been told by one very qualified woodworker who has worked on Antares, that the factory finish on this
boat (a 2010 hull/2011 splash date) was probably polyester, applied with many coats, one on top of the next without
sanding, then the final finish was achieved with
motor oil and
bronze or
steel wool.
Has anyone seen a similar unevenness of the finish, and do they know how to solve the problem?
Thanks for your ideas!
