Refinishing Outside Teak

Yammy and I went down to Skagway for five days. We started the gargantuan task of refinishing the outside wood.

This is inside the cockpit well. We brightened the weathered wood and applied an oil sealer.

We refinished the cap rail with Cetol Marine Light.

Here are the cabin sides with multi layers of cetol removed. We started off using a paint remover then discovered that using a heat gun worked better.After the heat gun we would use paint remover if necessary do a little sanding and then apply a one part brigtener.

This is what the old wood looked like.

The old cabin sides.

Here it is stripped and covered with one coat of Cetol Marine Light.

Some nice views of the cockpit.  We still haven't done the upper sides of the cockpit and of course the teak deck is crying out for some attention.

Anyways on Thursday it started raining so we gave it up for awhile.
