No just lightly wipe it down with rag and Lacquer Thinner… then simply reapply the Spar Varnish…
Stripping isn’t needed. A light sanding to remove any loose varnish plus increase adhesion and cleaning as Dave mentioned is all that is needed before recoating.
To prepare a beadboard porch ceiling with existing marine spar varnish for a fresh finish, the best way is to sand the existing varnish using the appropriate tools and techniques. Because scraping might not effectively remove the loose varnish due to its condition, sanding is the most reliable method for creating a smooth surface for the new finish to adhere to.
1. Start by sanding the varnished surface using a medium-grit sandpaper to remove any loose or flaking varnish. Ensure to sand evenly and thoroughly to eliminate any traces of compromised old finish.
2. After sanding with a medium-grit sandpaper, switch to a finer grit sandpaper to further smooth out the surface and prepare it for the new finish. This step is crucial for achieving a professional and long-lasting result.
3. Once the surface is evenly sanded and free of any peeling or flaking varnish, clean it thoroughly to remove any dust or debris. A damp cloth or tack cloth can be used to wipe down the area, ensuring a clean surface for the new finish.
4. Finally, apply the marine spar varnish according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure to apply an even coat, allowing it to dry completely between coats for a durable and attractive finish.
