George, I just started using Waterlox, that is, I believe basically a tung oil. Don't know how well it stands up yet, but it does bring out the red in the teak. It's not at all like "cetol orange" though. http://www.waterlox.com/ Rik On Wed, Apr 21 2004 10:58 pm, G Burmeyer wrote:
Thanks for the tip about Cetol, Steve, but I have used Cetol before and it turns the wood really orange. Cetol Light is better (IMHO) but that gives a kind of honey finish on teak.
Guess what I'll do is just use a few scraps (teak scraps! an oxymoron?) and test out oils until I find the right match.
Thanks again for the help
George

See if you can borrow a dollop of Cetol, which definitely gives a red or red-orange cast. Cetol is tough and easy to maintain. It's possible that your teak is refinished with it.

Obviously, a perfect match is going to be tough, but I'd like to get as close as possible.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
