our mateys

you know I hear a lot of people talking

about teak and how hard it is to take

care of and you got to do this and you

go do that and now I don't have a lot of

teak on my boat mainly just these

handrails and I think I'm gonna redo

those now my boat neighbor Dan has a

little more teak and he was looking at

some stuff and searched some product out

found star Brite which makes you a

couple different t-coils a teak cleaner

and a teak Lightner and we tried that

and I'll tell you what that's something

it is so easy to use you only need one

or two coats of it you know after you

the hardest part of this whole process

is the prep work now my boat neighbor

behind me is working on his boat and he

has done a remarkable job of prep work

on this thing with taping it off I mean

that's an important part you know you

got to get get everything smooth get the

teak clean get it taped off you know

another great thing here - while you're

well you're working on your boat

especially if it's in the water you know

and you're sanding and you're scraping

old varnish off and that put little

piles of it together and vacuum it up

don't just throw it in the water

be a green boater - well anyway this

stuff here the star Brite it's so easy

to use now it's made to be used outside

use a foam brush and to apply it with

goes on really easy you'll see that a

little bit here in the video the UV rays

actually help it to cure or dry

and it doesn't have an oily feeling to

it when it's done and it seals

everything really nice the key here is

when you're when you open the can don't

don't shake it you're just going to get

a lot of air bubbles in it use a stick

get down there to the bottom get all the

solids stir that up nice so that when

you apply it in nice even coats the

other nice thing about this is it's not

going to turn black it's not going to

fade over time what you get is going to

last you for a long time well let's take

a look at and I'm going to let Dan talk

here for a minute on what he did and how

it turned out for him hello Dominic I

don't know if you remember when I got my

cockpit teak grates but it was about

three seasons ago and I used oil regular

ot oil on them and I wasn't happy they

were dirty they they weren't appealing

they just weren't that nice so I sanded

him and I put polyurethane on him and

that was a bad bad idea

they were so slick that it was unsafe in

the boat so now as you can see I've

sanded my teeth great and on this one

we've already applied the DAR bright

tropical marine teak oil sealer in the

life so I'm very satisfied with how this

one turned out it's got great color and

it feels filled so that it won't collect

dirt so I'm very happy with it now what

we're going to do is show you how easy

it is to apply
