Hey great, thanks for the info. I was looking around me wondering how I was going to renew the teak in my boat. It's a 30 year old boat with an interior that was never completely finished. There is quite a bit of nice teak. But with the difficulty in finding teak, not to mention the cost of it, I decided that where I need solid teak, I would re-use the original and where possible, I would use plywood backed mahogany veneer with a teak finish. It's working out well so far but the biggest challenge would be to match the new with the old. Now it loos like you may have given me the answer and for that I thank you very kindly.

I also have a deck to repaint but have decided to use kiwi grip. I hope to get that done this summer or my deck could end up with moisture issues.
Better go now, much work to do.
Ciao for Nao!
