What is the right way to refinish Teak?
"Chuck Gould" wrote in message oups.com... wrote: I am refininshing a teak wood swim platform on an older boat. It is the first time I have done this. I read that I should strip the old varnish, sand down the gray wood, and refinish, basically. But should I oil the teak or put more varnish on it? It is out of the water except for a few hours a week when I am actually on the water. Thanks for the benefit of anyone's experience. Boaters will disagree on many aspects of refinishing brightwork. Some swear by oil and others by varnish. I've yet to see a varnish on teak that holds up long term other than on brightwork that is not constantly exposed to salt water. The popular Sikkens Cetol produces a phony orange color that takes away from the natural beauty of teak. I'd go with the oil. Eisboch |
