Thanks to all who responded to my email regarding my interior teak water
stains. It certainly would be a big job to remove them and then I would need to
redo all the interior teak with a varnish, etc.
The result would be spectacular (probably) but in the end I would have a pretty
dark (but shiny!) cabin and be many boat bucks/hours poorer.
Thus I have decided to go with painting most of the interior teak and just
leaving the teak 'trim' pieces in their original condition (or doing them with
Epiphanes), including the the louvers in the cabin doors and cabinet doors,
etc. This would lighten up and make the cabin look a lot more modern than
redoing all the teak. My 1995 36 XL/kcb has a whole bunch of teak and teak
looking plywood inside!!
I am thinking of some kind of semi-gloss interior paint that will stand up to
inevitable water leaks with a color that is close to my Corinthian (?) counter
tops. Joe Della Barba evidently used latex semi-gloss in a similar way for
painting water stained teak in his boat's head with success.
If anyone else who has done something similar or has considered it, I would
appreciate your thoughts on my plans.
My current thinking is to do the painting as planned and then decide what, if
anything, to do with the remaining teak trim.
Also, I may paint the interior fiberglass (cabin 'ceiling') to freshen it up
some as well--probably in the same color (off-white).
Thanks,

#yiv8471793079 div.yiv8471793079WordSection1 {} #yiv8471793079 I was half
expecting the paint not to stick, but it did. I sanded a bit and wiped down
with acetone and on it went. Latex is easy to work with as a winter project,
you can leave the heat on and not poison yourself or blow yourself up. Also
very easy to touch up and cheap by boat standards. You do get a “brushed” look,
if you want perfect mirror gloss you probably need a yacht type enamel. Joe

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Stus-List Interior teak water stains You got me
thinking that this may work for me—paint it white except for teak trim. That
might eliminate the stains by painting over them and then just
sand/varnish/cleanup the teak trim. Do I need any surface prep on the teak
(oiled ~8+ years ago) before I paint? Sent from AOL Mobile Mail

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Stus-List Interior teak water stains My interior teak has
never been varnished or polyurethaned (?)--It was originally oiled and I
re-oiled it once or twice many years ago. I would like to apply some
Epiphanes to all of it--and there is a lot of it inside my 1995 C&C! However,
much of it has 'water stains' from various leaks over the years--most of which
are now sealed. My question for the list is how or whether to remove these
stains--they are not like water marks left by a glass on a wooden table. They
are mostly on vertical surfaces and run vertically. There are enough of them to
make sanding them a formidable job so I want to be sure that sanding would be
necessary. Some web videos show using heat (iron, blow dryers, etc.) to
drive the remaining water out and make the stain disappear which is easy enough
to try. Anyone on the list have suggestions to reduce the scale of this
job--putting several coats of varnish on all of it would be a formidable job in
itself--adding sanding to the surface prep, which I realize is probably the
most important part of the job, could make it virtually impossible! Charlie
