The interior teak finish throughout my 2000 H340 still looks great except for around the galley sink and refrigerator top. Years of sun, handling and water have started to fade the finish. We apply lemon oil every other year to the interior cabinetry and everything looks good except the edging (fiddles) in the galley. I was thinking of applying some oil-based teak stain to try to bring back some of the color. Teak stain is getting harder to find, as West Marine, Home Depot and Lowe's don't carry it.

They used Dalys Seafin on the cabinets and teak trim, not the Profin. The Profin is better for soles.

To repeat, some of the oiled teak around my galley sink and refrigerator lid trim had become faded and was on its way to a grey color. This was mostly where water and cleaners came in contact with the wood during clean up. I found some oil-based teak stain at Ace hardware and gently applied several coats, wiping carefully between each application until I got a color that closely matched that of the rest of the interior teak. The wood took the stain very gradually and I did not have to strip and refinish. I topped it off with a coat of lemon oil. Look's good!
