Author	Topic:   Teak Oil for a Light Finish
BarneyC	posted 08-04-2009 07:06 PM ET (US)         [Seeks] teak oil that won't darken the natural, light finish on my 1986 Montauk. There used to be a great little kit called teak wonder. or something like that, but I don't think it's available anymore. Any suggestion? Thanks! Barney

Slick 50	posted 08-04-2009 08:41 PM ET (US)             I can second the Watco Teak Oil. I used it on my 1985 Montauk and the teak turned out very nice. I tried to follow Jeff's instructions but fell behind on timing. I wound up putting four coats on, one coat a day over a four day period. Good luck, Rick
