Hi All,
After deciding I don’t have the time or money to rip up the teak decks, I tried Durabak. We prepped the decks down to sanded wood, cleaned per instructions and put on 2 coats of clear. Looked like a million bucks! After the winter however, I have spots that are opaque and not clear. These are areas that have disbonded from the teak. The 2 coat covering is still there and intact, just not bonded to the deck. It’s still doing it’s job... keeping the water out. We may have made a bad decision going with clear.
What have you used, how did it stick, how long did it last and are you happy with it? Please do not respond with all the reasons I have done the wrong thing in your opinion.... I’ve read every thread on the subject. Hope the picture comes through.
The manufacturer DID say they didn’t know about the teak, because of its oily nature. Can’t hold them responsible.
