Thats the Stuff Turbin. I used it years ago on a Mantel shelf. Super glossy, that I like.
What do you use to strip it down with and what stain did you use, or did you just use teak oil and then glossed ??

Oh well, no painting today. Deck is still wet from the rain we had last night. So who has an nice heated, wall to carpeted garage with a bar and hot that I could pull my boat into and let somebody else work on while I'm at the bar and in the hot tub. My dream Garage ;D

I love working with ipe... nice job

Re: quicky
 

phatdaddy, is the dash one piece of ipe, or did you join smaller boards together? Looks nice.

Re: quicky
 

It's actually 3 pieces glued together. Vic cut a groove down the inside edge and cut a strip to fit in it, then glued them together. He routed the edges and cut the holes for me. I was going to build it out of starboard, but he does custom deck work and had some scrap left over. It looks great and matches the other teak.

WOW, what a big differnce some stain makes. Thats my winter project once I get my boat back.

Re: quicky
 

Hammer it also comes in satin if needed. I used a scrapper to remove old varnish and then a random orbit sander starting with 80 grit then 120 and then 220. I just applied the new varnish without oil. Used a fine synthetic wool between coats.

This is the port rod box with the trim and rod holders coated with cetol. Notice I reversed the holders. I put the two "butt" end of the holders on one side, and then the two hanging end holders on the starboard side. This allowed me to run the two strips of teak and create a shelf on the rod box for small stuff, mask snorkel etc.
