I am refinishing the wood on my '76 montauk. After cleaning, sanding, and staining with teak oil, should I polyurethane?
Teak oil is not a stain, but generally used as a protective treatment. Although there are exterior grade polyurethanes available, they are generally not favored for marine wood. Generally, those who prefer a natural look use teak oil; those who prefer a more protective layer use marine grade varnish.
