After 2 months of slow but steady progress I finally finished the sailboat companionway doors. Here are the stats: Sanded several times with progressively increased grit size, 5 coats of Cetol Light and one coat Cetol Gloss. Also, new stainless steel screws for the hardware. It looks good if I do say so myself. I received no help from the First Mate either and did the whole job myself.
