We have some weathered deck teak that is dark and dingy with age. We did the teak oil for a while to get rid of the gray and were contemplating varnishing - not relishing - but contemplating to bring it back to life. I have bad memories of sanding and varnishing (and sanding and varnishing) our cold Chris so I'm not relishing varnishing again. However a guy on our dock suggested we go with this stain like stuff called Simco(?). It looks kind of cool and I see quite a few sailboats with it (or s similar make) but are there alternatives? Is this the replacement for varnishing deck teak? How difficult is it to apply after washing?
