And since I was working inside the boat, I didn’t want anything that required massive hosing down or caustic chemical brews.
But I also wanted something environmentally friendly. I knew this was going to be a big project, and wanted something that would work with a minimum of effort. Semco is extremely easy to apply, but I wasn’t sure it really was the look I wanted inside the boat.Īnd then there was the whole cleaning process. I’d used Semco on the teak on the exterior teak on our previous boat, Que Tal, and that was a possibility - Semco is very much like Thompson’s WaterSeal, but for teak on boats. But my basic research said that most teak oils simply fed mold and the blackening. I knew that previous owners had used teak oil on it - I’d found numerous partial bottles of different brands when we’d first moved aboard. I was looking for both a cleaner and a finish, and I knew that usually, it was best to use products designed to work together.
TEAKGUARD SUPER CLEANER CRACK
It just wasn’t the look I wanted and it can also bubble, crack and peel. I also didn’t want something that was prone to cracking and peeling.Īnother option was Cetol, which gives a look similar to varnish. I did know that I didn’t really want varnish, both as it tends to darken teak and I wanted something that was easier to apply. To be honest, I didn’t know exactly what I wanted. Then I wanted some sort of a finish on the teak to protect it and keep it looking nice. My goal was to clean the teak so that the black was gone and it was a uniform color - hopefully a nice light teak color, not the dark almost mahogany color that it had become. The teak in many areas of the galley was also black. The rail next to the steps to go down into each hull was literally black with oil and gunk from hands grabbing it many times a day.
