Hi there.
I have recently re-decked firefly 1993 who is wooden and (now) beautifully sanded down. There is some fairly large patches of white where holes have been filled and, although as smooth as the rest of the boat, don't look nice compared to the wooden rest of her!

I had intended to varnish her as i thought that it would look nice before i noticed the big filled patches. I was wondering whether if i bought a dark varnish with colour in, would it cover these patches and make her look lovely?

It seems a shame to paint her!

A reply would be greatly appreciated!

Francis
