Hi all, not as exciting as major rebuild stuff but I just did my first rubbed oil finish on a teak drawer. Has anyone got experience with this? I was going from a couple of books and wonder if I pulled off the desired finish.

I use a product on the outside trim of my boats called Tropical Teak Oil, goes on like more of a paint but lasts about a year. Prior use for the regular type of teak oil on my Sabots washed off after washing the boat two or three times.

Thanks Dave! That is a great write up. The rubbed Teak I did required wet sanding with 400 grit and 600 grit. If you put on maintenance coats do they need to be wet sanded as well?

Thanks Robbin

Redid my teak this way, the most work was removing the old finish, some kind of varnish or cetol-like substance that was peeling, absent, faded, etc. but still thick and tenacious in some places. The "wet sanding" refers to sanding with #400 wet or dry after applying the first few coats of oil, and before letting it sit 15 min and then wiping off the excess. Does not mean wet-sanding the wood while preparing to oil it. As Dave said, don't do that. Dry sanding to smooth, strip, etc. before starting the oiling. FWIW I used two applications of Daly's Ship'N'Shore first, then 5-6 applications of Daly's Teak Oil. Came out great. cheers, John S. On 07/17/2017 01:37 AM, Robbin Roddewig wrote:
