Teak treatment question

[bassarama]

I take that as a compliment :) but no it's not a mansion by any means, just a confortable farm house colonial that I built... literally.

I designed that addition and built it with my 14 yo son. Hey I had no boat at the time so I had to do something ;D

I satarted in june 05 when has like 90 degrees out ::)
untill closing it up and water proof, I finished the inside over last winter... it was a nice project and it kept me out of trouble ;D

What do you think HAMMER?
I think he passes as not being fishbone.

Great looking addition, nice craftmanship. ;)

Last year I built my sunroom with rough cut Tulip wood. before cutting the lumber I wash the whole thing with a 25% chlorine liquid shock solution. It even removed stains from mouse s***t.

Presure washed the timber and got back the natural wood color.

I'm gonna try the same method with the teak.

Thanks to all

Here's the end result....got to keep mama happy ;) ;D

Just took off my cuddy door today. Sanding with 80 grit up to 220. What a pain in the A$$ !! >:(
I have stained wood in the past, but never messed with Teak at all. Sanding the gay out is killing me. You guys talk about cleaners for teak. If I buy a cleaner, will the teak turn back to gray again ??, I dont want that look.
I want to stain it along with a coat off gloss as well.
Wanna do it once and be finished with it. I hate to do it over and over each summer. If I had the cash, I do what M.J. says to do. Starboard all of it. The stained look is good, but starboard is never to maintain ever again. If I could concrete my front yard and paint it green so I wouldnt have to cut the lawn, I would !!. ;D

HAMMER, I have seen your lawn, send the girls out with a
push mower (non motorized type),
they would have it done in no time.
Concrete and paint needs the same maintenance as teak.

Its only like $200 for full sheet, you get plenty for all your projects!

I bought one sheet of 1/2 & 3/4, got all this done and the tackle box also!! Even have some still hanging around for small things!

Red dots say Starboard!!

MJ, I take it your vote is for starboard? Only kidding it is a nice way to go, less up keep. Billy Mac ;D

[macojoe]

Yes it is MAC!!

I love the wood! I think it looks great!! And for the guys that have it and maintain it my hats are off to you!!

I just no have the time to do it!! I like to fish hard, blood every where, just need to hose and go!

With the Cetol you don't really need to sand out all of the gray. *Just get the old finish off and you'll be ready to go. The Cetol provides its own color.

MJ, I'm liking the the star board and lovin the tackle box, planning on coping the idea in a few months..
Probably already asked and posted a million time, but weres the best place to pick some up??

By the way, you gotta perty eye :-*
