    Hey folks

    I have some areas in my heads and galley with very nice teak and Holley with a high gloss 2 part finish?, I think. I've been careless in dropping things over the 13 years we have used Bodacious, and now I have a couple of impact cracks with spiders in that finish. Any suggestions for a repair?

    Have the cracks discoloured down to the wood or is it just surface dings?

    no discoloration, but the impact area and spidering are pretty deep. Looks like cracked clear plastic.... Each area has a diameter of about 2 inches, maybe smaller.

    I'd recommend completely stripping the finish and re-finishing the floors......you could try heating the finish with a heat gun and carefully using a sharp putty knife and peeling the finish off, or a chemical stripper.
