I used both varnish and Cetol on brightwork on my former boat, and it usually delayed my launch date because of the need to wait for good weather.

The boat I purchased last fall is 30 years old with untreated teak, and looked good, no washboarding effect, but I gave into the impulse to do something with it and decided to try Deks Olje teak oil. My reasoning is that the oil isn''t dependent upon temperature and humidity, dries quickly,is easy to apply, yields a simple wet look to the wood without darkening it, and can allow me to get in the water sooner.

I hope that a light washing every now and then will keep the dirt out of the oil. So far, I''m just applying it to hatches. Will see how it holds up thru the season before applying to any fixed teak.

Anyone with experience with this oil? Comments?
