Brightwork Refinish w/Honey Teak

[Jack Bego]

Saturday, I finally finished the refinish task on my CD28. Everything was stripped to bare wood and I then applied Honey Teak and I must report that I am more than happy with the results. It really looks great! The only down side to Honey Teak is the application process, five coats in a row, basically without pause, was a bit much for my 66 year old bones. However, the end results somehow overshadow the pain.

Good for you!!

I've been slowly refinishing Second Chance with Honey Teak. 2000: Toerails and rubrails; 2001: cockpit coaming: 2002: hopefully everything else. Quite a job to do in one fell swoop!

Bet she looks great.

Best regards,

Jack: Yes, the initial HoneyTeak application is a job, but if done properly, you will love to know how long it lasts in that beautiful condition. MUCH MORE than varnish, which takes as much work, if not more. From now on, every six or eight months, just put on a coat or two of the clear, that's all you'll need. You do not have to strip it down any more, just buff lightly and apply the clear. I have the HoneyTeak on my CD-33 and she is lovely. I do not do all the boat at once. One day I do the cockpit... another weekend the toerails and handrails... so I don't kill myself... it does keep the wood in excellent condition, and it really looks great.
