I am refininshing a teak wood swim platform on an older boat. It is
the first time I have done this. I read that I should strip the old
varnish, sand down the gray wood, and refinish, basically. But should
I oil the teak or put more varnish on it? It is out of the water except
for a few hours a week when I am actually on the water. Thanks for the
benefit of anyone's experience.
Often.
Well I sure don't want to have to retreat it frequently. I have been
sanding, on and off, for 8 days, and I am tired of it. I looked into
the many options everyone mentioned and also found some others: Cetol
light, Teaqua oil, and TeakCare. The manufacturer says Cetol light has
the durability without the color of cetol. They say two coats of cetol
light and a coat of cetol finish stuff is supposed to be good and
without orange color....
