Hey Charles,
I was taking about the "Watco Danish finish"
There are basically 3 steps. Use 320 grit wet/ dry sand paper to work the Watco Danish finish into the wood, i recommend a vibrating palm sander for this. The key is to get some wood dust worked up and rub the whole surface with the sander, let sit 30 minutes and wipe it down. Do that again with 400 grit, wipe it all down again. Then rub it all down with the Watco wax, wipe it down again and you're done.

Interesting thread, and perhaps someday I will get to the point where I can attend to our teak interior instead of fixing other stuff! I have done a small amount of testing with teak oil (some marine brand I was given), but the biggest problem I have is that someone in the past decided to apply varnish or urethane to only certain parts of the interior, while others look like original oil. I am afraid to attempt stripping the varnish and make a mess, but I am also loathe to apply more varnish... So I just leave it. In dim light it looks ok, but the shiny sections annoy me...On Sun, Mar 28, 2021 at 9:02 AM CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote:Thanks to all of the subscribers that contributed to the list to help with the costs involved.

You never said.COn 03/28/2021 8:22 AM Danny via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote:My current boat was finished with Watco Danish finish from the factory. When i bought her at 30 years old, it seemed it had never been maintained and was looking kind of dry. So, i did a little research and went to work. I'm amazed at how well it came back. When i was done, i had a beautiful had rubbed finish. It was way less work than stripping and coating 8 times with varnish and it left a nice water repellent finish that just needs a quick wax to maintain.After refinishing the teak, the boat went into a paint shed and the idiots took it back out with all the ports open and left it in a heavy rain that way. I freaked until i got below and saw the finish intact and water beading off!I'm sold on this system as better protection that just oil and much easier to apply than a proper varnish job.DannyT40 Rum Runner IVMattapoisett, MACurrently; Barrington, RI
