Default 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.
