I am constructing decking for my narrow boat from softwood. It will sit alongside ronseal polished teak. How would you recommend finishing the softwood which has to be hard wearing.
Hi Roger,
This would require a marine coating. Please contact Akzo Nobel and ask for Sikkens Marine department on 03332227070
