Hello. Nice video and many thanks for chisel idea. Working in sail boats charter 21 season and it newer did cross mine mind even chisel is mine favorite tool. I personally do not like oil on teak and if you ask me what do I use and would recommend it is Höveling Golden Teak Sealer. Yes, it has yellowish tint but that's exactly why I love it.
I was just experimenting this one..me myself doesn't really like putting oil too on the deck, there will be a lot of maintenance...I will see if this is sustainable,then maybe do the whole boat hehe.
Hello Leo. My wife is a beautiful Filipina from Pasay City. Married 33 years! I just bought a 1984 Chris Craft Commander 315 in May of this year. It is a 31 foot sport fishing boat with lots of Teak capping rails and swim deck and pulpit at the bow of the boat. I LOVE LEARNING from you! Thank you so much for your videos. I am a subscriber now. I'm going to finish my outside Teak with AWLGRIP, as you show in this video. My boat's Teak has old varnish an Grey exposed wood. I will use scrapers and 220 grit to prep the wood before the varnish. But how do I get rid of the Grey color before varnishing? I don't want to aggressively sand away the Grey. Any advice? Thank you and kind regards.
Hello mate...if the teak is very weathered you will going to have to sand it aggressively you will need to sand it down well until you get rid of all the weathed greyish part of the teak,start getting off the old coating if it has...then start sanding it with 80 grit sandpaper then 150 the 220 grit before your buildup coat..this varnish I am using on this video is only to be used as top coat..do not use this varnish on bare wood because it will not work...the varnish you can use to build up is called AWSPAR it is a product by Awlgrip...put about ten coats of that build up coat of AWSPAR..but the more the better, but it all depends of how satisfied you are..then you can use the varnish I use in this video..as the top coat about 3 coats for best results..
what about "teak wonder" it stays quite long (around 2 months) but I dont know the one that you used. I also heard SEMCO but I dont know if all these are the same or not if you used any of them I would be happy to hear your experiences. Thx for the videos
Yahh I heard a few good thing about teak wonder, I was going to buy a small tin of it and use it for this project, but I was a bit hesitant, so I end up using the one I have .. the tried and tested on our furnitures but not on the deck, about the Semco I actually tried ansmall area on our previous tender but I did not like the strong smell of it and the slight yellowish tint, it look a bit unnatural.
Hello mate... actually this is 3 part varnish, I said in the video two part because I am used to another urethane varnish that I use a while back ..this particular varnish I used here is called Awlbrite this has to be mixe together with its converter and brushing activator..the mixing ratio is 2 part: Base J3005 1 part: Converter J3006 1/2 part : Brushing activator A0031. Hope this helps....
I'm an apprentice painter/custom work, you remind me of my boss. He's one of the best painters/custom house work in the US west. Whenever he teaches something I'm glued on whatever he telling me. You got me glued to this. All your prep techniques and rolling while back brushing looks awesome. You must be one of the best out there with refinishing and fixing patches on yachts.
Leon, before you scrape with your profile tool, the first time you should spray the surface with the water. That will prevent the excess from getting on the window and the frame. it will still leave you with a perfect bead just like you finished, but you won’t have to wait and clean it up later.
OMG, jaw-dropping stuff! Mark Zuckerberg's yacht game is on another level! Living that billionaire life must be unreal. Just dreaming big over here! 🤩😅🚤💸"
