Big deal. My boat has real solid teak. It's a pain to keep
oiling it. I think that plastic coated veneer fake teak is
better.


Of course some folks "like" oiling thier teak.

If it's below decks, you might try varnishing it.

Depends on what you like. I have teak plugs over the s/s screws in the teak.
I like to be able to access anypart of the boat. If that entails removal of
some teak... it's far simpler and less damaging to remove the plug on oiled
teak than on teak with 10 layers of varnish. Oiling teak is a simple
effective method to maintain wood with a nice effect. Varnished glossy
interiors belong on vessels where the work is done primarily by the yard or
hired out.

Varnish is *always* better done by someone else. g
