Teak care question

Post by Mario G »

I love the look of the teak on my C-22 and I am adding more then what came factory.

The teak looked qestionable when I got it and so I have been oiling it with teak oil or should I say drown it in oil. It looks great now, so my question is " is there over oiling the teak?" I like the wood work and looking forward to figuring out how to add more. I have some ideas but still would like to see what others have done.

My factory teak was dry and ugly when I got the boat. I put Teak Oil on it and it looks oksy now and it's definetly stronger. I did this about 6 months ago and it needs it again. Not sure if it can be over done.

Thanks
