Refinish Teak Results-Pictures
 

I re-finished some of the teak on my V. I cleaned the teak with 25% Clorox, 75% H2O, used teak brightener next, sanded with my ROS, and finished with Sikkens Cetol Natural Teak (satin finish). 3 coats of Cetol with 00 steel wool between each coat. I have used Cetol before, and if done properly, you don't have to recoat (steelwool and 1 or 2 coats on top of old finish) for about 3-4 years! That is open to the weather 24-7 for 9 months a year. I am now in the process of refurbishing the fiberglass rod boxes and will post pics when complete.

This my bilge door. I replaced the center panel with teak marine plywood because the original plywood was de -laminating.

I routed out the old plywood from the back and the trim to cover is dark cedar.

Nice job....I am going to have to do mine one of these days too.

Great job geekie. I've got to refinish my teak pulpit soon, and I was looking into using the Cetol. By the looks of your stuff, I think I will definitely use it now.

Looks great!!

Nice to see the pictures of how good the teak can look. Mine will never look that good. I can't seem to find the time to do it. Nice work :)

Good job -- you've inspired me to do the same!

Re: Refinish Teak Results-Pictures
 

Thanks for the compliments! As you guys can see, I still have more teak to refinish. That isn't going to get done until next fall/winter. I can't wait to get some fish slime on the cuddy and bilge doors. I am going to finish the rod boxes this spring before splash time. I still have some trailer work to do but I always have some trailer work to do. However, I don't want the trailer to break on the 110 mile run to Cape May.

Tight lines,
