Wood Stain for my C202
Posted: Wed Jul 08, 2009 8:35 am
Hello all.
I am in the process of restoring some Cruisers Inc emblems. I have sent the metal to be re-chromed and I am repairing the original plywood backing. They are in pretty good condition, especially one of them. The other needs a little filling after sanding. Luckily, the worst part to be restored is on the reverse side.
I am having difficulty in finding a matching stain to match the boat. Does anyone know what stain was used on a 1961 C202? On test pieces it all looks too dark, more of an Oak colour rather than a rich 'honey'.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Happy boating.
