I found that left the wood with an oily feel as it did not seem to be absorbed as well as the Teak Oil.

all my teak is Cetol original...completely maintenance free for over 5 years now....including cockpit sole (although my upper camper top rarely comes down)

Paul ...nice looking. Great looking vessel

F32 ... exactly the way my wife keeps ours....hahahaha She's big on teak oil. Thanks for sharing

F32,

Is that a cabinet on the bulkhead between the galley and the head? Would love to hear/see more about it!

Nancy

willie, do you think the old english would work for the fake wood in my cabin? Kind of a formica?

Nancy... no that is a reflection of the cabinets above the galley fridge.
The prior owner had a 1/4' thick mirror on that galley wall/head and also behind the cat on the shelf forward of the dinette.
Both mirrors are history and I am suffering under 7 yrs of bad luck.

teak oil rocks; no cracking, peeling, crazing of any kind. looks really nice, dries very quickly, not messy.Best of all, when you sell your boat to buy a 36, won't have to refinish any scratches

F32,

Oh right - a mirror! I know all about those. The previous owner of our boat loved mirrors, too. There's one where your cat is perched and another in the salon on the half partition forming the back of the galley cabinets. I hated them at first, but have gotten used to them. Based on your bad seven years, maybe that's just as well!

thanks for the input....i'll probably start working on that tomorrow, as apparently, something's amiss on the boat (will make a post about that in a min.).

hey...i still think you should just put your 36 on a trailer and bring it to me so i can buy yours. hehe

Be very carful if you sand any of the interior panels, the wood is a plywood laminate and you could sand through the teak or mahogany veneer quickly and then you'll be paintng that beautiful wood to hide the mistake.

Or hanging another mirror!

As some of you I'm sure has some vaneer fake wood, as my F25 does on the walls around the window, etc, does. I was going to use Cetol on the teak wood, but I was wondering if I also could use it on the wood vaneer, which is really dull and would like to perk it up some?

Thanks.

larry;don't know...do you mean over formica-like stuff?

If it is not wood I would not use Cetol as that is unlikely to brighten it up... I would look at cleaning it with a household degreaser and then trying to polish it to try and add some shine (furniture polish?).

Larry,

My bulkheads and my refrigerator door are teak veneer and are finished with Cetol and Cetol clear. Looks great in my opinion. Just be sure that, as stated in an earlier post, what you want to refinish is in fact veneer and not Formica.
