0 Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted July 16, 2003 Randy, what product is it and how old is it? I'm tempted to say a percarbonate like EFC-38 to clean with and you could use Wood Tux or other oil based sealer to seal with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted July 17, 2003 Randy, You're doing the wood topside, not the hull, right? Just want to be sure. If it's the hull, checl out Akzo Nobel (makers of Sikkens) they make coating for ship hulls that's tough as nails. Any idea what the square footage is you are covering?

0 Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted July 19, 2003 We're using oil based products on wood furniture. There are only a few we will use... Sikkens Cetol SRD Cabot Australian Timber Oil for Hardwood (when working on hardwood) Wood Tux Be careful. Some furniture comes prefinished and had been dipped or process in products that can be hard to spot. This can lead to problems with compatability, and damage to the furniture even after washing. A good rule of thumb might be if it's not really weathered, leave it alone. Randy, If wood has a prior finish, I would say use HD-80 and then brighten with Citralic. You can use he HD-80 at a lower concentration if there is not much stain left. Not knowing what the stain/sealer was on the wood, I can't say EFC-38 would take it off. It's meant to work on oils, but not solids or films. HD-80 works on those. Beth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 marine_clean 14 Report post Posted October 13, 2003 teak is very tough.. get on it and get it clean and then oil it with Teak Gold if they want the "original" teak look..if they want it sealed you can change the colors and finish just about ny way you want too.. marine work is about 90% of my income..e-mail if you have any questions on marine work... searay_cale@cox.net Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
