No name, Yes, there is a thread on the Teak Guard. It peels off just like any other hard non oil finish looking like s*** after several months. Their web site looks too good to be true!!! There's plenty of good info on teak refinishing in the forums. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I just sanded mine last winter and applied a coat of oil then all throughout the summer I just kept reaplying when it looked dry. Looks awsome IMHO. ------------- 93 Ski Nautique |

Sand it with 80 grit. Take some TSP (Tri Sodium Phosphate, found near the painting supplies) mixed with some bleach and a little bit of liquid laundry detergent to make a paste, then use a stiff brush to scrub it into the grain. Rinse, allow to dry in the sun, then apply teak oil until it can't hold anymore.
I did this to mine when I first got it. Now, all I have to do is apply a little teak oil when it starts to look dry and your good to go. Mine looked really bad when I got it. I was amazed how well it cleaned up, and it still looks great today. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1602&yrstart=1991&yrend=1995" rel="nofollow - 1993 Sport Nautique |
