I have received a maple dash for my '76 TR6. It is unfinished and I'd like to know what would be the best finish to apply. It's gorgeous and the work looks first rate, so I want to protect it well an

<What does the collective wisdom of the list recommend?> I would use a dark stain, wipe off quickly. (the longer it stays on, the darker it stains) Then seal it with polyurethane. Jeff Lee '63 TR4 CT

Why stain it at all? Just leave it natural. I would likely use marine grade varnish and put on at least three coats. Deano --Original Message-- From owner-triumphs at Autox.Team.Net [mailto:owner-tri

Make sure you use a UV resistant overcoat. I didn't on my first dash and it's gone from black walnut to honey blond. Live and learn. Allen Brenden Lynnwood, WA USA '76 TR7 FHC (Daily Driver)sometimes

Most of the marine spar varnishes are UV resistant. Verathane also has a line of UV resistant finishes. Check the label for UV resistance. Allen Brenden Lynnwood, WA USA '76 TR7 FHC (Daily Driver)som

I did a dash a few years ago. I wanted a finish that was perfectly colorless, and completely waterproof and UV proof. In the urethane "varnishes" there is Spar Varnish which is quite water resistant

-- Jack, there are lots of options, of course, depending on whether you want a shiny finish, a satin finish, or whatever. I myself, for fine wood like maple, prefer Tung Oil. You'll have to reapply

Just to second Terry's solution, I too used tung oil and have always been pleased with the finish and the last time a rubbed in a coat was 4 years ago. I can also say that I have never gotten water o

I am going to use linseed oil next time around. I used Varathane the last time I did a dash. It looked great at first but is now cracked, probably from expansion and contraction from temperature extr

Hi Jack, Don't know if this is wisdom but I've had success using Minwax Spar Urethane. A few coats per the directions and it buffs up like glass using steel wool and then finished with 3M Perfect-it

The best thing you can use on a wooden dashboard is floor (paste) wax. Any brand will do; I like to use Trewax Indian Sandwax. -MF

The least damaging, caustic, and vaporous way to remove the old finish is to use a heat gun. I'm talking out a real heat gun that generates way more heat than a hair dryer. If you heat up the varnis

I would recommend you take a weekend off and remove the dash. You can't use a varnish stripper with the dash in situ unless you can apply the stuff without it getting onto anything plastic or vinyl (

I recently replaced my dash with a TRF replacement, and, as previously written, the finish is quite dull. I use Armour All to add lustre. This works out well, and you don't need to take the dash out
