Refinishing teak trim

Certainly no finishing expert; however, have never found anything that
was sold to protect teak on a boat that was worth the price of admission.
As a result, have learned to like my teak au natural which may not be
to your liking.
One suggestion.
Clean teak then COMPLETELY seal with 4-5 coats (1/day max) of epoxy
sanding lightly between coats.
You must totally seal the teak or it will fail early.
Finally, seal the epoxy with a good marine poly that contains UV
inhibitors which are required to protect the epoxy.
When you get a poly scratch, repair it before the epoxy gets damaged.
Have fun.
