I am looking for the best treatment for teak trim on a plastic boat.


Go to paint store for a can of boiled linseed oil. Rub in 2 coats.

Or go to the boat store and pay 10X the price for the same thing diluted
with mineral spirits.


Somebody once recommended I use boiled linseed oil on my beautiful new
Cape Cod style house shingles.
Within a couple of years they were filthy black.
I had to uise a solid stain to cover over.
