Daly's Ship N Shore
Read many of your posts on teak as a reborn sailor, and decided to try this product, a thinned varnish mix made by the same manufacturer as the original finish.
The interior was kept up well for a 20 yr old boat, but the companionway, galley door, wood stops at the counter[fiddles?] and sun fading were more noticeable after having the boat for a few months. After cleaning off the wood, cleaning off 20 yrs of teak oil cut in mistakes and scraping cracks, I decided no more oiling.
I tested it on the galley door incase I hated it and had to strip it complete. The wear on the pull area of the door successfully disappeared on the second coat. I did the isun damage area and same thing. I was happy to not have to try to strip or cetol the interior. I did the whole interior with one quart and a small tack rag, which was much easier to cut in with and not drip like the brush. The product is thin so it goes a ways.
The result was astounding, the '80s were now gone forever with that oiled teak look. the second coat was needed as the first one just disappeared. My boat princess loves shiny things and the pleasing minor gloss finish was a winner. It will be easier to wipe clean now and saved me a headache. The scratch protection is a plus too and easy to fix, we have dogs.
Some teak with heavy damage will not be able to hide the scar this way. I am not aware of how this product finish will age. It looks better than cetol, which many people don't care for on a boat. It is not as gloss as a Beneteau look. I will try to get a decent pic today, I am happy with this product.
Many posts are big using tung oil or Watco, seems like a similar product to use.
