Too bad.

IMHO, stuff is garbage, even in fresh water (Lake Erie).

Yeah, really good stuff might have lasted him 13 years instead of the 12
years he got from "garbage."


My son gave me a couple of slat type six foot teak benches. The

Just make sure that whatever you use isn't going to rub off on

Good point. Tung oil will dry to hardness as it oxidises, just like
the linseed used in so much paint.
