Delayed report on Teak redo...

[Bushwacker]

Lookin' good! 7 coats ought to hold up pretty well. That's what I used and mine still looks good after 3-4 years. Do you keep your boat covered? That won't stop the teak oil from oxidizing and turning dark but it will make a big difference with varnish! Denny

I do keep it covered now. I recently was given this nice metal carport and it has worked out great.

so all you do is clean the teak then put this varnish on and where can you get it?
Thanks Basswacker

you can get epiphanes at west marine, jamestown distributors, or any decent boat store. west marine actually slaps their brand on the epiphanes product (it still has the "epiphanes lion") and sell it for a few bucks less. i used the same process on my hatches when i built them a few years ago. it takes a long time to dry (24 hrs) and they recommend a total of at least 4 coats, thinned progressively less, but you wind up with a beautiful product thats iron clad. i actually have used it on mahogany countertops in my house and it wears like iron.
