...and a shovel when the dog does his thing!
Having just redone my decks in a combination of finishes, non slip on the bow, fresh teak on the side decks and cockpit, I can tell you the non slip often gets too hot for bare feet, and the teak looks great, at present. But in terms of practicality I am comfortable with my decision, even if my feet are not.Teak decks: what a pain. Glad you folks talked me out of them in 2010 when purchasing my boat (originally ordered with teak decks). I don't mind gray decks. That's what I have, but that's non-skid paint.
Thanks Marin,
Not clear on your impression of Cetol. Seems folks either swear by it or at it.

Agree in principle with not sanding or adding finishes to teak, but it is interesting Phil has done it for years with success.
