Cabin door

I feel that if it holds up for a couple of years that would be fine cause it like I have to recoil it every year and if I don't it gets old and ugly I will let you know thanks for the come backs Krylon has a good spray paint for wood,

What destroyer said, teak is oily, you can cut it by wiping the wood down with thinner.

Me, I like the teak, so I just wipe it down & then varnish with Urethane or Epiphanes, no oil, that stuff is for yachts.

I expect one will last about as long as the other.

Do it and if you don't like it I'll give you my cabin door, been kicking around my garage for years.

That's an offer I can't refuse I will do it

I heard acetone is the preferred wipe-down for teak before gluing. Would assume it works as well for painting...

[garbubba]

Acetone works fine, I've used other more green solvents & they seem to work well to. The trick is to wipe is then paint quickly, if you leave it for a day, oil will migrate back out to the surface.

I wouldnt think paint over teak is gonna hold up all that well. Maybe wipe it down with acetone a couple good times then thin some poly resin or epoxy resin and hotcoat your item. Then lightly sand, prime then paint. Just my opinion. The hotcoat Will keep that oil from lifting that paint. I laminate teak speargun blanks up and the west systems works great.
