When we purchased our 1990 DeFever trawler, we had the notion to bring
all the teak back to its former glory. However all of the teak, toe rails, guard rails, window frames, doors, steps, etc. had all been painted white, and now most of it is flaked.
After many hours of using a heat gun and scrapper I have come to the realization that this will be project that will exceed the years I have left. So reluctantly plan b is to sand it all down using 80/120 grit and paint over . But with what? Looking at Awlgrip, which seems to be a lesson in chemistry to mix and apply correctly. Are there any other recommendations for a primer and topcoat?
Thanks for any advice,
