??s re Sanding off 53 years of some cetol like stuff that nearly requires kryptonite to remove is going to kill me … I would like to get the bow done and do the rest next winter season that would be ideal … So I'm considering Semco for a sealer to get me through till next year, or what other one year options are there? The boat is under cover and has been all her life. She has never has the decks sanded before. And what color there are so many options and do you have pictures?

Looks really nice!!
Looking really good, hard work
Do you like the dry sanded look like you have now? If so Semco will be perfect for you. I had it on my swim platform a few years ago. It protected the teak well, I just didn’t care for the look
REAL nice, Cindy. i KNOW how much work involved to get there
I’ve used Semco, wasn’t impressed. I now have Seafin teak oil over a coat of Ship ‘n Shore, which seems to be holding up okay. It does need to be re-applied once or twice a year (my boat’s in a covered slip, so it lasts longer)
Very, Very Nice!
Chris craft recommendations are to put nothing on the teak. They say if you just have to then the semco sealer is ok. Personally I used the teak-um 2 part cleaner once and it came out really clean. And I’ve been able to maintain the look with just washing with a cup of laundry soap in a bucket of water. I’m also in a covered slip
What ever Albert put on Maryann looks good to me,and is going on mine
Go with Teak oil only, more work but its easier and appropriate.
Teak oil or tung oil. Applies easily with a mop, and once a good saturation level has been attained its nicely waterproof as well.
I have a 69 42′ CCC… Not a woody but still a goody!! I have to do the toe rail this year.. What would you CC owners recommend?
Danish Teak oil is similar. Check out Jamestown Distributor website for comparison
Simply having wood boats in my family history indicates that Teak treatment was once the source of much disagreement. The purists used oil, some considered anything too much work, and I’m sure some covered it with varnish. Now that the boats are rare, the beauty of well oiled teak seems the best idea. It looks like there are many good suggestions.
Nice job
Are you ultimately looking for an oiled finish product or are you going to be going with varnished finish? You have the hard work completed now with the sanding finished. Getting some protection is the easy part now. Sealer and multiple coats can be applied In 2 days with the new products on the market. Jamestown Distributors has some cool new sealers and varnishes.
I have sanded them last that finish lasted 15 years
AwlWood. Check it out. It’s made for teak and oily woods
You’re gonna hear about 1000 different opinions. Next question? Varnish? Omg
Starbrite classic steak. Annual application and not difficult at all. Semi translucent. Buy a small can and test. Test. Test on scrap pieces of wood.
I would just leave it like it is and use a light brush with soapy water against the grain to wash the dust off once in a while
I wouldn’t use anything but Waterlox Marine finish. I’ve been using Waterlox for 45 years.
Looks like the Cetol did it’s job. .. Why change?
If the deck is teak you don’t need to do anything but clean it occasionally. Teak decks are made to be finish free.
Next time take a 3″ putty knife grind the corners round so it won’t gouge the wood, take a heat gun watch it carefully till starts to lift, keep the heat gun in front of the putty knife, once you get the rythem down goes fast ! I learned it on a 1957 38′ connie, did the whole boat !
I am doing the same with my 1963 52′. I am finish with just Teak Oil. Myine has always been under cover also.
We used Teak oil on this Connie and it turned out great ????
It’s fun isn’t it! Took me a week to sand the decks and strip the caulk from the decking on the Marianna alot of work….
I helped my dad back in 1975 on a 30′ CC SeaSkiff. I had to “Holy Stone” the whole boat myself… I was about 20 then. Lots of teak on that boat. When done it was treated to multiple coats of TIP Top Teak. It looked beautiful. I got paid $5.00/hr to do it…
Tip Top Teak oil is the only thing to use
