teak finishing on typhoon

Post by Marian Feldman »

teak has never been varnished and don't want to now either. What is best to protect and finish? Supply names of products and how to if possible.

I have just used Sillken"s Ctol LIGHT, and it is great, unlike previous, C TOL which seemed flat and orange, this new light type has produced a beautifull finish on teak which has been recently stripped and lightly sanded. I KNOW I KNOW the purists are screaming...... but I was brought up on wooden sailboats and spent most of my childhood sanding and varnishing.
Three coats of C TOL no sanding between coats, has produced excellent results.
