Hi guys on my mag i have the fake wood inlay or what ever its called, It has a few coats of ????? finish on it and it looked like ****, (just was not looked after nor recoated yearly)
I just finished very lightly sanding it all off.
So now im down to a clean but very dull finish, what do i put on it now that will be nace and glossy looking
The #2 pic that Mark just posted of the Wolverine, you can see that it looks thick and glossy with the numbers running threw it
What can i use that will make the bow look clean, thick, glossy
Len Thank guys

Len.....I'm a little choked up.......I'm very proud of you for trying to restore the sweet glory of the wood inlay......
That said......it's a plastic laminate right?......so I'm not sure you could coat it?........maybe try polishing it like paint?
Otherwise......this winter I'm installing a nice piece of Ribbon Mahogany on my deck.....then I'll varnish it so it's glossy.

Also What are others doing when they paint it a colour, Are they takeing out the inlay and primeing it than painting it or replaceing it with something eles

Mine has been painted purple, they painted right over the laminate. I don't see why you couldn't wet sand yours and spray it with a urethane clear coat.

Mine was sanded down and then painted to match the color of the hull. I can't not remember really seeing one of the laminate wood once last with out getting funky looking
Good luck with your Sport.
Happy Holidays to all
thank you
