Thanks Lew. >>> lew staub <sailorl...@yahoo.com> 6/29/2010 2:08 PM >>>   In my opinion, the only thing to use on the exterior teak is Cetol. The only upkeep required is to recoat each season, no need  to reclean. On my interior teak I use Formby's Tung Oil which is a wiping varnish. It requires no prep work & gives a very nice finish. I put on 3 coats originally, & now recoat at the beginning of every season.'

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.
