jonnyswamp Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) My boat is coming out Friday and apart from clean, polish, anti foul etc I need to get the timber work stained/oiled/varnished on top of the gunwales again Did it last year with International Schooner (IIRC) and it hasn't lasted well I seem to remember @JonC using something different and getting better results I know you're knocking on a bit now Jon, but can you remember what you used ? I've quickly looked through most of the old posts, but can't find the thread Edited September 15, 2021 by jonnyswamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyswamp Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 A google search came up with Coelan, good reviews and supposed to last 5-7 yrs ? I like the idea of longevity Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordmac Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I used whatever teak oil the building supply shop sold. A fraction of the cost of what the boat maker specifies and seems fine. captin slows old outlaw and Faugh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My timber has silvered now which I quite like but if you prefer the deep red colour then treat them with D2, that’s the finishing coat. Got any pics?

No pic's but just like the above pic , It must be good tung oil and not re-constuded boiled down linseed oil , Good tung oil will will be noted on the can as Pure . first two coats 50/50 with white sprit Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two heavy coats after the 50/50 coats on bare wood will last 2 years depending on abuse it get's , just wipe it with white sprit and and brush more on or use a rag it spreads well , No sanding unless heavy damage Saintly Fish and jonnyswamp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
