God
I just re-visited those darn teaks again hopefully this time around they last longer that the light stain I applied a year ago.
I also added the Door on the console, nice additional dry storage, many thanks to Ridge for the hatch lock shown.
I use this product EPIFANES Gloss and Matte Wood Finishes it boast excellent UV protection. Smells good hopefully it works:)
Time will be the judge....

You know, you and lumber really need to pen pal.
It do look good though, needs fish blood to offset the deep mahogany look.


Just kidding, looks great!
 
Nice work on the teak. How do you work Epifanies? Lets say if the teak is really weathered (gray), what do you exactly do? I've been using Starbright step 1,2 and 3 , but i'm not very happy with it. Is Epifanies a stain?
 
Epifanes is basically a varnish. You would clean the teak as you normally would, let it dry very thoroughly, then hit it with 3-6 coats of the Epifanes applied with a natural bristle brush.
 
I sanded it down first then apply polyurethane stain two coats, then apply three to four coats of Epifanies to protect the stain.
 
For nasty looking teak, I do not think you can beat a power washing (not too hard--you do not want to take splinters out of the wood), followed by a drying period, then hit it with teak cleaner, wash that all off real good, then let it dry again, followed up with sanding. Then you are good to go with your sealer of choice, be it polyurethane, Cetol, varnish, teak oil, whatever. Just do not try to put a poly, cetol or varnish over teak oil--that would never work.
