What is proper method of protecting outdoor teak furnaure to retain
original color ?
Is treating with teak oil desirable ?
Is staining possible ?
I would like to prevent wood from graying ?
What is most frequently method used ?
Thanks
A decent teak oil will work, but you have to do it often. I gave up on my
teak bench and now it is silver.
Try your same posting on rec.cruising (serious boating hangout), or try to
get to a marine store.
If you want to seal it you can try Cetol (by Sika), or some equivalent. It
is pricey , but it will hold up to the UV and water. This is more like a
varnish than oil. Again, you have to do it often and should start with
multiple coats.
Good luck.
