Applying TEAKGUARD

PROPER CLEANING AND FINISHING OF TEAK
If your teak has deteriorated to the point that it must be sanded to be restored, then you must sand before cleaning. Sand with " 50 " GRIT PAPER, then do final sanding with coarse bronze wool. Sanding teak generates both oil and wood dust, which combine to form a paste that effectively seals the grain of the wood, preventing effective penetration of Teakguard.

As a result, you must use a good teak cleaner that is labeled as such. (Please note that household bleach is NOT strong enough to kill mold and mildew spores.) Follow the directions on the Teak cleaner. During the final rinse buff well in the direction of the grain, using coarse bronze or stainless wool. (Do not use plastic pads - they have poor cutting action.), rinse and buff until the water runs clear. (The gray flowing in the water is dead oil, which cleaners alone cannot remove.)

When the wood appears dry, buff in the direction of the grain to smooth the fuzz, or grain raise. If you did not achieve a grain raise, you did not get all of the dead oil off and you must repeat the cleaning process again.

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST!
If you are ready to prepare your teak as outlined above, you surely won't want to undermine your efforts by using a lesser protective agent. Shake well before using, then apply TEAKGUARD protective coating immediately after the wood has dried, because in just a day or two the sun will draw fresh oils to surface. For best results, apply the third coat and allow TEAKGUARD to cure for 2 or 3 hours.

TEAKGUARD is a water based product, designed to be safe and easy to use. The product can be stored with peace of mind as it is non-flammable. Protect from freezing and shake well before using.

TeakGuard Guarantee

Once applied, TEAKGUARD is guaranteed for one year, not to chip, peel, or fade. It will however, wear from foot and hand traffic, or weather over time. If it starts to look worn, or just not as good as you would like, clean the wood with a boat soap, let dry, give it a light buffing with bronze wool, and apply another coat or so. It will soak into itself and renew the coating. Drying time is approximately 10-20 minutes between coats, so it is quick and easy!
