God
Was a super nice day out today. Should have taken the boat out, but decided to do a quick paint job. Repainted the floor that had been annoying me all summer. Gonna add a second coat Thursday and maybe try and paint the sides, but not impressed with any of the boat paints. Seem not to cover well on the sides and also run. Plus at $32.00 a quart for Interlux, it sholl roll itself on by itself.
Hoping to get out this weekend, Suposed to be nice all week.

Teak needs a major staining. Looks like such a pain in the A$$ to remove the doors and side trim. Wanna stain it once and leave it alone for good. Not sure if you can teak and then add a one coat exterior gloss finish that stays for good.
 
Make new doors from startboard and never worry again!!

I like the way wood looks, But I hate taking care of it!! There is no time or room for wood on might boat!!
 
Use Sikkens Cetol Marine Light on your teak, it looks great. Cetol is a satin finish. There is a Cetol Gloss top coat, but I think it's for interior use only. The Cetol has a stain in it so it will brighten up the gray wood.

Oh yes, it's cheap, too. All that wood took 2 quarts to do 3 coats on everything. The stuff was on sale for $20 a quart at West Marine.
 
Try stripping the teak down to remove the gray and then apply three coats of McCluskey’s Man-O-War gloss.
It works well for me and lasts a long time.

Here is a teak hatch.

Thats the Stuff Turbin. I used it years ago on a Mantel shelf. Super glossy, that I like.
What do you use to strip it down with and what stain did you use, or did you just use teak oil and then glossed ??
 
Oh well, no painting today. Deck is still wet from the rain we had last night. So who has an nice heated, wall to carpeted garage with a bar and hot that I could pull my boat into and let somebody else work on while I'm at the bar and in the hot tub. My dream Garage ;D
 
It's actually 3 pieces glued together. Vic cut a groove down the inside edge and cut a strip to fit in it, then glued them together. He routed the edges and cut the holes for me. I was going to build it out of starboard, but he does custom deck work and had some scrap left over. It looks great and matches the other teak.

Hammer it also comes in satin if needed. I used a scrapper to remove old varnish and then a random orbit sander starting with 80 grit then 120 and then 220. I just applied the new varnish without oil. Used a fine synthetic wool between coats.
 
This is the port rod box with the trim and rod holders coated with cetol. Notice I reversed the holders. I put the two "butt" end of the holders on one side, and then the two hanging end holders on the starboard side. This allowed me to run the two strips of teak and create a shelf on the rod box for small stuff, mask snorkel etc.
