I refinished all my exterior teak this spring. I took it to bare wood and used Honey Teak. Liked the process very much and results look excellent. Practical Sailor scored Honey Teak as top finish over a five year period. Once the teak was prepared and taped off, I applied three base coats over three days. I then had two friends help me apply the final base coat and ten finish coats in one day. If applied after twenty minutes and prior to an hour, the product can be overcoated without sanding. The process worked well. Next spring I will apply two maintenance coats and hopefully will never have to strip the varnish to bare wood. Time will tell if patching is a problem.

Doc Judy - Have been sold on Schooner Varnish for twenty years but this year decided to use Epiphanes. Am really pleased with result and like it so much better. Glad yours worked out.

Looks good but it scratches very easily. I did 9 coats of epiphanes on the pinrail and trim strips -- and they look fabulous and don't scratch easily. It was 10 times more work to do the pin rails with Epiphanes than the strips I did with Tung oil...

It requires no prep & takes about 20 minutes to do the whole interior.

We would like to keep the natural color. Do we just treat it with teak oil? It's for the cabin interior. Thanks Bob
