Need some guidance on finishing a Teak table for a boat

Teak? Oil and wax for me. Don’t even talk about polycrapithane.

Teak oil

-- Sam Hamory - The project is never finished until its "finished"!

I have a teak dresser I built in 1975. After being underwater for several weeks back in 2005 I sanded it and refinished it with a water based varnish. It is important to wipe it down with acetone prior to applying the finish so amy surface oils will be removed. six+ years later the finish looks excellent.
I would only use this water based finish on an inside piece.

-- Every step of any project should be considered your masterpiece if you want the finished product to reflect the quality of your work. http://www.FineArtBoxes.com

Clean well with sudsy ammonia brushing cross grain then rinse well with water. Let it dry then fininsh with Amazon Teak Oil.

On teak for outdoor usage, I use Waterlox Original Marine Finish or a good tung oil/phenolic resin spar varnish.

Note: So called “Teak Oil” is a meaningless and vague name. Some Teak Oil products contain only oils and others contain mostly solvents, a little oil and some resin. One product only contains a mixture of castor oil and mineral oil. There is no consistency among “Teak Oil” formulations.

Water based poly for floors. I like Varathane.

“Teak Oil” is snake oil. Use poly, either oil or waterborne. I prefer waterborne, though aI made a teak table, finished with oil poly, in 1974, that’s still going strong.

TEAK and CYPRUS … I prefer PENOFIN … as it weathers and loses a little color, just reapply as desired.
