Watco yes - Deks Olje yes yes

I've used Watco Teak (Marine) for years and like it a lot, but I've had better results with Deks Olje. In 1985 I applied 4 or 5 coats of step 1, then 2 coats of step 2 to the rails on my Proem 85. I've never needed to do any other maintenance and have used this boat extensively. The wood looks about the same as it did in 1985.

Here are pictures taken of that canoe within the past year.

        The varnish provides UV protection. - pblanc - Nov-07-12 4:16 PM
        
        Well, I agree in part - pblanc - Nov-07-12 4:36 PM
