Re: Teak treatment question
 

Hey guys remember to throw away all staining rags and other stuff used away from the house. There have been cases where the chemicals have reacted to other things and ignited in the trash. I set mine in a pail in the back yard so if they would ignite they a far from the home.

Re: Teak treatment question
 

wouldn't there have to be a spark? :-/

Re: Teak treatment question
 

No spark needed for some of the chemical reactions.

In my area, there was a roofing company that had some chem soaked rags
just thrown in a corner.
Next thing you know, huge fire.

I love that Pic. I'd be showing her my cuddy if she ever came a knocking at my door. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Linseed oil is one of the worst for spontaneous combustion. Had a buddy who had a garge fire take half his house. After staining the deck he threw the rags in a pile...and the rest is history.

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Hammer, Your teak looks good. I need to do my cuddy door. Someone painted it with brown paint so I have to strip and sand it. Hopefully it comes out as good as yours.

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Hammer, lookin good. *One trick I found when reattaching the door frame to the plywood bulkhead(not the piano hinge, but the frame) is to drill out the screw holes with a 1/4 " drill bit and insert a 1/4" dowel rod. *On mine, the original screw holes were too sloppy to get a good grip because you are screwing into the ply.

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Your teak looks good HAMMER,
now if you have some time while on patrol,
stop in at Stemboat Landing and grab my teak. ;D

Only problem, you will have to take a generator to power the tools,
the electric is off for the winter. ;)

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Have the weekend off, so hopefully I can put on a coat of poly to finish off the teak. Couldnt find the man-o-war stuff. Oh well. She is still much better then what she looked before. ;)
Parishht, you were down last weekend. Hows the V doing. She miss you. ;D

Re: Teak treatment question
 

I heard you shouldnt Poly teak. *just oil. *I think the oils embedded in the teak eventually cause the Poly to flake off.

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Visited real quick, just long enough to move the engine and
keep the cables greased.
She was very glad to see me, I even thought I saw a smile across the bow.

Re: Teak treatment question
 

;) ;) ;)

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Since it was a tee shirt day today, I decided to pull the rest of the teak off the V today, even with a A$$ kicking tooth acke :-[ Had no idea that the hatch rails were through bolted. Major pain to get off by yourself. >:(

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Anybody know where I can get this black matting stuff at. Mine has a bunch of old drilled holes in it.

Re: Teak treatment question

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Hammer try masking tape on the fiberglass above the kick board before you varnish. This way you can let the varnish dry and then pull the tape. I think the varnish will be hard to get off the glass alone.

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Hammer, your an animal. Go to Wallymart in the home section and get yourself some shelf liner. It's got a non skid texture and a little cushion to it. I used spray adhesive to put mine down and then trimmed w/ a razor blade. Came out great. I'll grab a pic tommorrow while I'm out on the ocean trying to better Turbo's monster fish. Oops...did I just say that ;D

Re: Teak treatment question
 

I wish you lots of luck. I would love for you to get one larger. And we expect pictures.

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Thanks Airslot, I'll be wallmart bound Sunday looking for it along with spray on glue. ;)

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Dont mind the messy storage room. I'm working late into the night to Getterrrr Done. ;D

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Wife is out of town, so I can make a mess in the house. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Wow looks good!!

And I wish my wife was out of town!! Permanent!!

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Be careful what you wish for.

Re: Teak treatment question
 

ha ha I am serious!!~ :P

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Slowly starting to put things back together. Put the first coat of stain on the kick board. Might have her done this week, but wondering if I should hold off on the sliding hatch rails. The bow needs painting. Hate to paint around them in the spring. All depends on the weather. Today was anoth tee shirt day to work in, but was knocked out for most of the day with the tooth acke. Damm tooth Fairy should have taken the broken one.
>:(

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Only thing I didnt work on was that damm crappy glove box. Prefer to find a plastic one, but cant find the size. The glove box always fall open when I'm moving. That or get a latch and hook or something for it.

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Just put it toghter!! Get ready for fish!!

This way if you want to fish your ready, and if you feel like painting then just tape it!

Who needs paint when you have fish blood?? ;)

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Dont Fish, only wreck dive. Only blood onboard will be from a non paying diver. ;) ;D ;D

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Look I forgot to sign in as a regular :o

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Forgot to sign in, yeah right.

Hammer, your work looks great, I've got a little project of my own coming up. I accidentley ripped the door jamb off mine today in the rough seas.

Do you get any water into your cabin from rain / rough seas? I'm getting water in from between the sliding hatch and the hatch rails I think.

Air

Re: Teak treatment question
 

I get water from under the cap seem some were??

True funny story!!

This guy from another board was out Cod fishing with me. We got into some sloppy water and the V was doing its job of plowing!
Just on the left side of the boat were pass foot is located you can see water running down from top to the floor, this guy was just watching it run in!! LOL

Then he saw me looking at him laughing and says serious as all get out "IS THAT SUPPOSE TO BE HAPPING??" I started LMFAO!!!!

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Yo Airslot, Yepper, I get water in under the hatch rails and it finds its way into the cuddy. Gonna shhot a bead of caulk under the rails when I bolt her on. With the boat tilted up on the trailer, water sits where the hatch rails meet the raised form that the windshield sits on.

I do have a problem putting the port and starborad trim back on. They were screwed in, now the screws just spin when I went to reinstall them. Gonna fill the holes with 5200 then rescrew or just slighly move the trim back an inch.

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Hammer: it looking really good. Keep up the good work.

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Actually, Lowes's has contact paper that can be used on countertops. Pre-glued.
I did what I thought was a temporary cover at home on the
kitchen counters.
After three years, the stuff is still holding strong, with no feathering.
Water splashes and all from kitchen work.

Re: Teak treatment question
 

Well you could fix the holes, then paint with chalk board paint, then when you need to make a quick note, just write there, or cover with the white board and make it a dry erase board for the same, I know a guy that has a dry erase board on his boat and love it!

I have a grease pencil and write in the window and clean later, but I am going to put a small dry board in mine.
