Teak Thread- Everything teak in here.

I need to re oil my deck and was wondering if i should sand 80 then 150, sand 150, or just oil. Its in great shape just a little grey. Its on an 2012 x25

I'd use the 150 and some of the starbrite cleaner and then the brightener followed with 75/25.

How many times over the summer do you put the 75/25 back on? How many coats do you put on to start with?

New to teak what is 75/25?

Boiled Linseed Oil and Paint Thinner....

Mixing these two actually works well for several things outside of just Teak (ever needed to refurbish black plastics? :-) ).

This is basically the same stuff that you find in Teak Oil to my understanding, but cheaper and in bulk.

How much linseed oil do I need? 1 gallon or 1 qt? Since I'm in no hurry for cure time does it make a difference between raw or boiled and will one give me a better result than the other? I am wanting to go darker.

1 quart will be PLENTY with much too spare!

It's 75% linseed oil(boiled or otherwise) and 25% mineral spirits or generically paint thinner.

I have some leftover Brazilian Ipe, so I am toying with this idea of a new teak deck as a winter project.

I figure using the current fiberglass platform and brackets as a template should make everything pretty straight forward?

Anyone have experience doing it this way?

IPE wood is awesome. All of our outdoor furniture is IPE and has held up perfect.

I've put 3 coats of linseed oil on my deck and it seems like it's getting lighter. Is there a trick to getting it to go darker?

Need repair suggestions on swim platform 87 PS

Has anyone undertaken repairs on a split part of the platform? Mine is split on the top so that it
could pinch someone or cause a splinter. Perhaps seadek placed over the platform? Is that a possibility?

Take it off and replace it with a new rail; no need to go to the expense of a complete overhaul.
I think I read somewhere here you could replace the entire platform for $300.00+ change. That's if you choose to go new. I think you can make it look just as nice with a little effort: and you can say,"Look what I did".
Good luck

Has anyone tried the Thompson's outdoor Teal treatment/oil?

After putting a couple of linseed oil on my deck and cured for months, its kind of sticky. Is this normal? Can I fix it?

It seems that if you go on too thick and/or do they let it dry throughly between coats, sticky is what you'll get. It'll go away through the season. I suppose you could clean it down and prep it; start over.

You didn't let it dry enough. It should not be sticky at all. Put it in the sun.
