Refinished my swim deck, turned out pretty good I think.

Like the cup holder idea, obviously a little more than skiing going on back there...

Teak World - Killed It!!!

I was prepping the swim platform for a fresh oiling and noticed that one of the thin pieces of teak was cracked on the bottom (seriously need to switch to "light beverages"). I called Tommy up at Teak World and he said bring it by and we will look at it, said it wasn't a big deal probably. I dropped it off yesterday morning about 630 on my way in, picked it up about 500 on my way home.

Tommy and his crew had replaced the broken piece, sanded it all, and had it oiled for me! Same day service, very reasonable price, and an appreciation for their customers - that's how business is done!

Thanks guys! I normally have a little more shine to it when I do it...but I like the "factory" finished look...I am going to see how it weathers this season before adding anything to it.

Thanks! Used the StarBrite 3-step system. I did steps 1 and 2 twice over a couple of weeks period and then put 6 coats of their teak oil on it. The first two coats were soaked up really quick and didn't even really make a difference. The last 4 I followed the advice on here and put a coat on and then let it bake in the sun. I'm really pleased but I'm curious how long it will last and look this good!

You done good!! That's the system I use as well. Many make their own "brew" as well, and I gotta say they too look really great. I started with the StarBrite and never switched because mine really lasts for me. The boat sits on a lift under a canopy, but the teak is in the sun all season. I only do a touch up (2 coats of oil only) over winter, and am good to go in the spring.
Keep up the good work, looks great.

I know to some it's sacrilege to even consider putting anything other than oil on platforms, but does anyone have any experience with the Honey Teak system? It's a two step acrylic urethane enamel I have been reading some sail forums and people swear by it even though it's pricey.

I think I read somewhere that a urethane or varnish type finish will have a tendency to flake and peel after some time. If that's true, that would be a bear to get back to bare wood and go old school.

It WILL flake...keep it classy and invest a little time and elbow grease each season. Cold beer opportunity awaits...

I love the 3 step starbright package for teak. However, I skip the third and got with the mix.

Kudos to both
