The two parts are great, messy, time consuming and expensive. If I'm taking teak down to bare wood, after sanding with 150 I mix an epoxy resin, thinned about 30% so it's nice and watery and will penetrate the wood. The first time I did this the next day I thought I'd made a mess but it sanded out beautifully and sealed the wood. Then I applied another coat thinned about 10 to 15%. When cured I re-sanded and applied a minimum of four coats Tung oil varnish, sanding (220) between coats (slow process) or three or four coats of a two-part LP varnish wet sanding between the final two coats.
