Interior Wood, 2024 RT 27 OB

[AG3]

I have watched the spring maintenance video about restoring interior wood on a Ranger Tug and understand that some of the wood has Minwax Helmsman urethane and the rest of the wood is treated with Daly's Seafin teak oil.

Couple of questions about our 2024 RT 27 ob:
1) It appears that the Galley table and the wood in the head are treated with Minwax. Are any other interior wood treated with Minwax, or is all of the rest oiled?

2) The teak trim across the top of the galley cabinets is faded (the boat spent the first 6 months of her life in the dealer's Florida boat yard), and I am pretty sure this was originally finished with oil and that the teak oil needs to be reapplied. Is it possible to "convert" this strip of teak from oil to Minwax or is it a MAJOR undertaking to do so? My reason for considering this is because the urethane would provide better protection from water and food spills from the galley.

Our Hull ID number is: FMLT2771C424

Thanks in advance

The galley table and the head are treated with Minwax, while the rest of the wood is treated with teak oil. The Minwax application on the head and galley table was done using a spray method. It would be difficult to apply it to the wood trim around the galley cabinet unless the trim is removed for spraying, as it is nailed to the galley wood panel using a brad nailer. Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Hi Jared: Thanks for your reply. Minwax also sells a product that can be applied with a brush or foam brush. Would this work? I was just chatting with someone on the Minwax web page and they recommend 3 coats with sanding with 220 before application and between coats.

That should work, I would follow their instructions on application.
