have to concur with those who say "Don't do it." The variations in the

grain are part of the beauty of teak. If you would stain it, you might
as
well go whole hog and just *paint* it.


That's a very good point and I've seen people paint over teak with good
results. That may be a smarter move as well since you can get the paint
off one day.

If you seal the wood with varnish first, it is possible to remove the
paint at a later date. We have already painted some of the teak trim
that is difficult to get at but it would not look good on the part
that I'm doing now.
