One of the joys of owning a boat with a lot of exterior wood trim is
the maintenance work. With 29 years in the sun and salt air, the
teak in our swim platorm was getting thin, brittle and badly worn.
After several years of patchwork repairs it finally seemed time to do
the job right and rebuild the entire thing. No problem. In
exchange of about a boat buck for freshly milled teak strips and a few
new tools, the job is well underway.

Here's a picture of a new strip being sprung into place with clamps
and spacers:

Notice the reflections in that fine looking transom. :-)

The strips are 15 feet long, 1 1/2 iches wide and about 7/8ths thick,
approximately 25 board feet before milling.

Any suggestions for how to finish the teak when it is finished?

I just used teak oil on the thwart of my daysailer.


You shouldn't use esoteric boating words (thwart) in this newsgroup;
some of the spoofers won't get it.

~~ Snerk ~~ I see what you mean!

Now Don, do you really think anyone would think you and Harry are not up
to your old tricks of insulting?

They never stopped. It's obvious that being well behaved is beyond their capabilities. Too bad. Were it not for those two, we could have cleaned up rec.boats.

Interesting, I wondered if it was the same Krause as in rec.boats.
Apparently he is faking it with the politeness.

I recall an election bet for $100.00 one year. He denied the bet and
refused to pay up and send a check to Make a Wish.

Water over the bridge and I am sure there is another side to the story
nobody here wants to hear...

There is no other side to the story, you ****ing moron.

The truth is the truth and there is no amorphous area where "can't we
all get along?" is living.

I'm astounded at the lemming-like behavior of so-called adults.

Wally? The loony right-winger?

We're blaming the victims now??

Harry is a victim simply because of the way he's acted here. Same with
you.

Wayne is just trying to enlighten you two. You would be better off if you didn't hang on to Harry's coat tails. Let him fend for himself.

LOL, the number one enabler and instigator, now is playing the victim
card. LOL maybe you should pull out a race card while you are at it.

If Don didn't have his "Snerk" comments he wouldn't have anything to
say. What I think is funny, is I am beginning to think Don actually
believes he is just an innocent bystander. They do say the mind is the
2nd thing to go.

Hey, Wally-World, I never bought into this latest détente. I'm just
laying low right now waiting for things to return to normal.

Looks great Wayne!
Lot's of knowledgeable guys on another group report success with sealing
exterior teak with West epoxy and varnishing or painting over that. Haven't
tried it myself but it sounds good.

What I have done with great success it use a warm thin coat of epoxy as
a sanding sealer (not really cost effective unless you are buying your
epoxy in bulk as I was) and then using a good UV protective Spar Varnish
over it..

For a swim platform that will actually be used, will you need non-skid
on top of a smooth finish? IIRC, unfinished teak isn't too slippery,
even when wet.
