Need some info from some wood finishing experts. I am refinishing a few pieces of teak trim that had been finished with *something*, and unfortunately I cannot get Pearson Composites to give me any clues as what it really was. snip 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.
