Well everything looks good as for me getting my first sea ray,then I can be a official member here :smt038
I should be the proud owner of a 1987 268 sundancer within the next few weeks. However it will be at least 2 more month before the weather breaks and can really start cleaning it and getting ready for spring. So when I viewed the boat some of the teak pieces looked dull "not broken or horrible" just looked like it could use some sprucing up,So I thought I could remove a few pieces here and there and bring them to the garage and fix them up while its too cold to do anything else and was wondering if anyone had any tips or recommendation's on what products to use?
I couldnt find to much on the web about it,only thing I found was where they said you can use a 1 part cleaner/oil or a 2 part product and they pretty much just rub them in with a toothbrush and let dry. They mentioned you have to kill mold in the wood before you can properly oil it to bring out the natural color,but they dont say anything about sanding,I would imagine with any kind of wood there has to be sanding yes?
Besides all that maybe someone could tell me if and how the teak diamonds in the swim deck can be removed. Im not sure if you can unscrew them from underneath or if there epoxied in and you just have to redo them while there on the boat?
