[C38] Teak

[Phil Gay]

Larry,

There is a hard to find product called sudsy ammonia.  We found it at
Safeway, I believe, but needed to ask someone to find it.  You need good
ventilation to use it but it is amazing at removing built up oil, soot, and
grime.  We also used a steamer but the sudsy ammonia was easier.

Oddly enough we have done the entire interior of our boat but not the head
area yet.  BTW we applied 3 coats of varnish afterward.  I think it was a
Pettit product but the interior choice is not as critical as the exterior.

I think I want to strip my teak in the head and coat it with either varnish
or polyurethane.  Any suggestions on how to get all the teak oil out of the
wood and which would be best, varnish or poly?





Best regards,
