[C320-list] Interior Teakwood Maintenance

[Dean Vermeire]

David,

Are you trying to restore the color of the teak, or just put a 
protective coating on?

If you are trying to restore the color, how badly sun bleached is it?

If it is badly bleached, you may want to stain the wood before adding 
any sort of protective coating.  Alternatively, many top coats, 
including a number of polyurethanes, have an amber tint to them, which 
might even out  the tone.

For a top coat, you may want to consider something with a good UV 
protection.

Also, you didn't say which wood was faded.  Is it the companionway 
walls, the flooring, the stairs, or all of the above?

Here is a link to a product that was recommended to me a couple of years 
ago.
