    Exactly one of the reasons why i traded my beautiful Swift Trawler 34 for a teak-less NC1095. Yes teak is beautiful but it comes a time when one can not do this work any more. Do enjoy your videos very much.

      Yes there is a bit of muscle work. Thanks for liking the video.

    A really great video, there are definitely some products better than others but this one seems to work really well. We love your videos, like ourselves, we try to portray good affordable boating and try to do all of our own maintenance when we can!

      Thanks. Everyone seems to have their own teak care tip! Happy boating

    Fabulous result and great advice. Your teak looks really good.

      Brooke will appreciate the teak comment. We were actually thinking about doing a video six months after doing the job.

    Good job. The Semko sealer won’t skin in the can. The frequent stirring is to prevent the tint from settling. The teak needs to be bone dry so that it draws in the sealer. Definitely 2 or 3 coats to get some water repellency. I find the Honeytone gets a bit hot underfoot when in the sun. I now use the Natural tone which doesn’t get as hot. I need to do mine every 6 months. Love the videos. 😊

      Thanks for your advice. I don't know why Brooke kept saying that it would skin??? She just knew to keep it stirred! We have found good water repellency as well and it is holding up perfectly (few months later). Interesting point about the colour, I'll see how it goes over the summer. Let us know if you have any video ideas!

    Thank you for the video! I’ve been putting off the job, because I haven’t seen it done. This helps.

    Your deck looks absolutely gorgeous after that 3 step treatment!! You're obviously in a very sunny and tropical place- us too. But we don't anticipate covering our teak (mostly toerail) with any canvas. Do you think the Semco Teak Sealer will last in a very hot and sunny climate? How often do you recommend to reapply it? And what's the process of doing it (do you need to clean it so thoroughly before each application)?
    Thanks for your video and looking forward to any advice 😊

      Luckily we did a recent video showing the teak after one year - ruclips.net/video/iXSMAfn-OO0/видео.html The stuff that is covered under our storage canvas is quite good but the exposed stuff needs a new coat after a year. Hope that helps

      @TheRudder Thank you! I'll check out your video update.

    Great video for those with teak ( I’ve got Flexiteek- looks good at the moment but need a cleaner this winter).
    Just not picking point. Why didn’t you remove the forward cockpit seat? At least if you remove it now you can spot the difference you have made. Regards to you both. Your winter weather looks better than our summer! Lucky People!

    • @TheRudder
      @TheRudder  Год назад +1

      I have no idea why we did remove the seat, that would have been easier!!! Get so caught up doing these things sometimes. It is a little scary how warm our winter is, summer is going to be hot.

    A couple cups of vinegar, water and some dawn dish soap to make it sudsy, it really draws out the dirt.then star brite deck sealer.....I have all teak decks I've tried all the products, vinegar works best

    hi, thanks for this Video. i'm a lazy boat owner and am thinking of paying someone to get it done every 6months, dont really want to be ripped off too much 😊
    you said the first 2 stage took 20Minutes, how long did the 3rd stage take you , allowing for 2 Coates, i'm assuming another 20minutes / coat?

    • @TheRudder
      @TheRudder  4 дня назад

      Hahaha that sounds about right with timing but you need to include some wait time, so the teak is dry before coating. I think between 2 and 3 hrs.

    Thanks a million. That's exactely, what I was looking for. Perfectly explained. Thanks.
    After your treatment: How is the grip on the teak. It's not slippery whilst being oiled, is it?

    • @TheRudder
      @TheRudder  5 месяцев назад +1

      Great glad it helped. The teal is a little slippy sometimes. We have a welcome mat that helps. It is holding up well.

  • @RobertPascale

    Semco is a good product! The reason why you have to stir it is not because it skins on top but because the pigment settles…

    My marina doesn’t permit use of acid in the slip. Dry dock only.

    • @TheRudder
      @TheRudder  6 месяцев назад

      It is very weak acid but yes it could be a problem in a marina. I believe all the teak cleaners are a weak acid of some sort. Maybe someone knows another product??

    Just wondering….isn’t that forward cockpit seat removable very easily? Just wondering

    • @TheRudder
      @TheRudder  Год назад

      Yes it is totally removable - we just totally forgot. Would have made life a lot easier!

    do you think we need teak oil ?

    • @TheRudder
      @TheRudder  Год назад

      It is a personal choice, I've been very happy with 'naked' teak for two years but it does require a bit more care. I'm still very happy with the look of this product a few months on.

    how often do you have to clean tea?

    • @TheRudder
      @TheRudder  10 месяцев назад +1

      Depends on how much sun and water the teak gets but we do it annually.

  • @scottdynek2728

    Much easier way use brass wool pads lightly vacuum and apply Amazon oil with rag. DONE!!!!
