¿ªÔÆÌåÓýAbout six months ago when I was looking at another
boat that had a bad case of mildew on the inside surface, I found out two
things. First, there are special paints that are good looking that provide a
high level of mildew resistance with test reports to support it. Second, having
a lot of air moving in the boat helps too. Another thing is to use Clorox in
solution to clean the surfaces. This should be done prior to painting with the
deal/concept to kill the spoors on the surface. When the paint or any paint is
applied, the spoors will still be there otherwise and cause the problem to come
to the surface again.
?
There is a two part paint on the internet that
appears to be very good.
?
With respect to gloss, I like and suggest a semi or
non gloss look to compliment the wood trim. By the way, it is a good thing to
remove, sand, and strip the wood at this point in time. After removing all the
finish, I would use a product that I have used for 50 years called ALBINO bleach
system. It is a two part and removes all the black from the wood. The wood will
need to dry for a few days prior to the next phase of work. If it is teak and it
is inside, then get a good flat or semi gloss product for it. If the teak is on
the outside, leave it bare and wash it twice a year with dishwasher gel and lots
of water.
?
Make sure that you use a good grade of tape to tape
out the surfaces from each other. Another idea is to put wood grain or white
counter top material on the surfaces. That may reduce the work to some degree
and reduce the work to keep it up.
?
One might like to look into the interior designs of
yachts of olden times and see what they looked like. One builder in Bristol used
white and wood trim. It looked great for years.
?
Well that is all I have to say on the
topics.
