sshortcircuit Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Having now taken the time to give my shower duck-board a real scrubbing I wonder, even although I assume it will be made from marine ply, if I should give it further treatment and with what. Its sitting outside in the sunshine, to dry off, on a garden seat, which gets an annual wood treatment. Would that do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheer lunar-see Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Hi, at home I use Fiddes hard wax oil satin finish on all my timber worktops, lasts well, and never had a problem, only the price, any good timber merchant will sell it, but iff not go to www.fiddes.co.uk, they will surely help.

JohnP Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 When we had a Kontiki we discarded the duckboard because of its weight and it wasn't particularly nice to stand on (IMHO). It was slippery when wet and could become a bit smelly over time. It was substituted with a shower mat - can be bought off the roll and cut to shape. Easy to wash and dry and much kinder to the feet.

Ranger Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Wood 'Duckboards' were dumped over 40 odd years ago in the forces as they got germs living in them from one person using the shower to the next and move on from foot to foot so infecting the next shower user. Buy the plastic 'non-slip' shower matting required length cut off the roll. Comes in various colours and designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshortcircuit Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 Thanks for all the positive replies. Going to change as suggested. Have a lathe in my garage which has a concrete floor, so duckboard will not go to waste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
