PlasTeak???
Growing up on the Miss. Gulf Coast, essentially a place with two economies -- shrimping/fishing and tourism -- as well as right next door to a boat yard and having been a member of the Slave Galley that kept a converted wooden shrimper in "sportfish" livery, I can tell you that, in my opinion, wooden boats are nothing more than a bonfire looking for a beach and wood trim is nothing more than kindling for the pyre!! And, the reason they put it all over high-tech yachts is because the folks who own those things can actually PAY someone to keep it all up for them! On my pier, a number of fellow boat owners sit around debating each other's varnishing skills and I ask, "To what end? Is it not better to be out actually sailing the boat than doing brightwork? Yea, I say!!"Ok, so my 78h30 has wooden hand rails and some wood below, but I am NOT a purist who thinks the only way to treat it is to put 40 coats of Schooner 96 on top of it so I can strip it off in a year or two and redo it! Feed it to the termites, I say, and install stainless topside! Down below, strip it down, paint it with a good Interlux two-part precatalyzed epoxy and forget it!! Boats are made to be sailed, not slaved over and what makes America great is that if a person likes to varnish wood that's been jumbled up into a shape resembling a boat, then, more power to them. Besides somebody needs to stay back at the dock and make sure the beer stays cold!!As to Plas-Teak, hmmmm...from my military days that reminds me of something that once used to go over with a big bang at parties! Somebody pass me the coco-rum and pineapple juice; I'll gladly trade a badger-hair brush and a quart of Schooner 96 for a tumbler full!!
