Bill I am no expert on finishes, what I posted was not my information but information from someone who worked at Uniflite.
You will get a different opinion from us all, what works for one is not necessarily what others choose to do. I have a 1978 26' Sedan and I lightly sanded my teak to remove any oil build-up and then applied a coat of teak oil which I immediately wiped off so I would have a very light coat. If I thought I needed more I would repeat the process. I can't remember the name of the oil and the can is on the boat, I will go to the boat tomorrow and get the name. I do a very light rub with the oil annually with good success. My teak was well looked after before I bought the boat so what you have to do depends on how previous owners have cared for the teak. You are on your own but the preceding is what worked for me. I would suggest you experiment with an inconspicuous section. Good luck.
