Main Cabin Table Renovation

posted 04-12-2015 by Coyote

We were doing some general rehab and refresh,
I am curious to find out what is involved with removing the white surface (formica?) on the fold down table in cabin, next to the keel stepped mast -- it is 99% Teak, and the top layer is dated, dirty, and cracked,, Id like to be all teak, with several coats of varnish,,
Can this layer be removed by a 150, or less, grit sanding,
or will it melt into the wood??
see attached, may not be for everyones taste, but you get the idea,,
Found an amazing veneer, BandIt - comes in 2 x 8 rolls, edging, red oak, and perfect for this application, very stainable
and you apply it with an IRON,,, glued backing is melted by the heat of the iron, very cool,,,
the old sheet of formica came right off, with a ply in the corner with a flat screwdriver---
you can see old and NEW! VERY PLEASED!!!
