How easy is it to remove to work on?

When Chris Farley talked about living in a van down by the river, did anybody else think that wasn't such a bad idea?

Tape can be used, but if the tape bond fails, then you just made a big mess and have wasted product, and have to re do it. I have had little luck with the bartop pour epoxies and always wound up having to sand them flat and then polish them and have refused all future jobs in this realm.
Bartop epoxy also does not like UV light and will turn chalky if exposed to a lot of sunlight.
The darker spots on oak are very porous and sucks up a lot of stain deep into the wood. Even if you sand it, they will remain dark, so restaining and blending becomes necessary.
In your case I might just soak a Scotch brite pad with acetone or laquer thinner to remove the gummy exterior then use a polyurethane to refinish it with either a gloss/ semigloss or satin finish, whatever floats your boat.
It is really all up to how much effort you wish to expend on it.

The stuff used on boat wood is best, stands up to the UV rays, looks great too. | | | Re: Needing advice on wood interior parts. | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 2,847 Likes: 42 veteran | veteran Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 2,847 Likes: 42 | Note that Big box stores carry spar varnishes that are only slightly more uv resistant then regular polyurethane. Among the best products for wood on boats is Epifanes varnishes. $$$ though. http://www.epifanes.com/products.html | | |
