staining teak
Can teak be stain? I would like to put some color to a new teak gun, If it can be stain wich brand of stain is a good one, also I want to put a oil finish on the gun, I know this can change the color.
Thanks Pucho |

teak can be stained, but the saltwater wont be good for the stain in the longrun

Re: staining teak
hmmm, went through the same process. All I can say is to make sure that if you use a stain to check if it is a sealant as well. Cause if it is it will be more difficult, if not impossible, to apply the oil. I sampled a test piece first, stain only which looked good. In the end I have decided to oil the gun, using watco teak oil and it looks great! Have oiled it 4 or 5 times now. I will put 1 or some final layers of epoxy on it.

Re: staining teak
Spearotiki, where do you live on the Eastern Shore of MD? I grew up in Easton and used to ply the waters off the DE breakwater for stripers.

Re: staining teak
If you plan on coating the gun blank with epoxy do not use an oil base stain(not compatible)...use either and alcohol stain or a h20 base stain and sand with 400 grit paper after.....good luck.

Re: staining teak
Sorry I Did Not Include This First Time But They Also Make Clear Pigmenting For Epoxies , Same Epoxies You Would Use To Laminate Or Saturate Teak.

Re: staining teak
I find few colors of Duro Sur stains in a lumberyard, in the can says Polyurethane polyester nitrocellulose acrylic stain…LOL a little long but I cant find any info on them, they smell like alcohol and they dry super fast, even the store don’t have any info, it was a new product and the company never update any of the products and they are selling them for $5 a liter, I tried them on some pine and they are working great I will oil them later and how it work, I have a piece of teak and will do some test.
Thanks Pucho |

Re: staining teak
Does anyone know of a company that makes alcohol based stains? I can only find water and oil based ones. Also, are alcohol stains the same as spirit stains?
