MARINE TEAK DECKING AND FLOORING

          MARINE TEAK DECKING AND FLOORING (ii)

NOTE: Never seal the platforms and the sea floor without masking the wood. This is quite obvious, however, many people prefer to flush the joints and cover the gasket, and then the sand seal on the lid. Teak Marine decking and flooring can last for 100 years, but not if they are treated. Specifically, the covers are fastened from the bottom (the best technique) because the ends of the screws will finally reach the landing surface and secure thousands of leak openings.

Never sand the marine decking and flooring (unless you keep your boat in the museum). One of the beauty of teak is its anti-burglary quality. The teardrop has softer and softer lines so that the soft ones are worn out, leaving as heavy as a perfect surface that does not slip. Wiping to obtain a beautiful smooth surface not only crumbs the anti-slip quality, but soft spots quickly expire and require new sanding. Brushing reduces the depth of the hose, which increases the risk of leakage and eventually requires grooves.

Never peel tequila. It will spoil the anti-slip quality, not easy to glue, it will fade and create unpleasant ugly.

Always never pour tequila. Teak does not need oil to maintain its quality, it has incorporated oil. The cover, which has been exposed to the sun for no more than ten years and has a bony look, has a fine oak tree less than 1/100 inches below the surface. If you've just cleaned the platform (see below) and want to be afraid for a few days as you sell the boat and do not intend to use it, the oil will not cause any damage.

Never clean tequila with chemicals. Most will remove natural teak oil and result in more frequent cleaning of the deck. Functional teak (instead of dysfunctional decorative decks) is virtually maintenance-free, some sunburn whiteners become greyish-white, that's what it should look like. If you have soot, dirt, oil or other spills on the deck, the best cleansing technique is a low pressure washcloth with a mild detergent when absolutely necessary. Severe stains / greases can be alleviated with a small pineapple and a cleaning brush. I tried tens of solvents, but the pin-ground has the least damage and it seems to be doing fine (especially in the oily paper mill mill!). This will remove the bleached dirt and peel, leaving the fresh finish of teak and doing very little damage. Be sure to use just enough pressure to remove dirt, do not want to raise the grain below. If there is no pressure setting in the pressure pad, use a wide nozzle and hold a larger distance from the surface to avoid damage.Marine decking and flooring
