Re: [IC27A] teak

Thanks Richard, I oiled the teak with teak oil about 2 weeks ago. Will that affect the tung oils ability to adhere to the wood? >>> Richard Lewczuk <rlewc...@rogers.com> 6/29/2010 8:55 AM >>>   Use paint thinner. Reasoning for the thinning of the first coat at least would be to allow for easy penetration of the finish into the fibres of the wood.  Number of coats is dependent on the look that you want on the teak. I would definitely use 2 coats.  Thnx Richard  Sent from my iPhone On 2010-06-29, at 10:14 AM, "Mark Robertson" <mrobert...@utah.gov> wrote: I read somewhere about using Tung oil on teak and thinning the first coat 50% the second coat 30% and full strength on the 3rd coat. Does anyone remember this? What do you thin it with and is this correct regarding thinning and number of coats? >>> Herb Clark <herbcl...@shocking.com> 3/30/2010 10:52 AM >>>   Check out Ceatol Marine, if you want a varnish look with a longer life span.  Oil is oil and needs constant care, and never looks a good as well cared for finish.  If varnish is your choice, consider using the teak cleaner and brightener like "Tek It".  Letting the teak go to gray is another option, but nothing beats nice bright work to help sell a boat.  Well cared for on the outside often leaves a potential buyer with the feeling that the boat is most likely well cared for in the inside.  It's about pride of ownership.

I prefer varnish but am selling boat(hopefully) this spring and wonder which might be preferred by buyers. Second, does anyone know where I can get a replacement teak "eyebrow".

Hydrodynamically, nothing works right in this direction. Try to back up as infrequently as possible.
