Cabin Teak

[ALMOST THERE]

First boat at age 58. The cabin of my new (to me) 1984 srv 260 needs the teak cleaned up. the moldings look to be stained teak wood and the wall partitions are most likely veneer that has been stained. can i get all this veneer lookin good with out sanding? been reading threads about teak and oil, etc. not sure if all that works on veneer.

some of the pics show the interior. It was a mess (no pics of before - sorry), trust me. I took what i could off. Step 1 - clean with TSP. Step two - Rinse well. Step 3 (teak moldings) - lightly sand and wipe with acetone; (panels) mixed up my own stain to bring back some color. Step 4 - cover with two coats of Sikkens Cetol. Step 5 - reassemble.

Good Luck!

The trim is solid teak and can be sanded and oiled. The panels are a plastic veneer. Don't sand the panels, it will ruin them.

Keokie is correct. Do not sand the panels. I hope that i didn't indicate that I sanded my panels, as I did not. However, after all the years of gunk was washed from several pieces, there was not much color, hence recoloring for me.
