In Response To: Cooler Step Teak Oil Question (Bill Little (Precision 18 #298))

I recently refinished my teak cooler step with a Minwax wipe on polyurethane with great results. Every time it was dry I lightly sanded and wiped on another coat. Not sure how many coats maybe 8-10 so it would be durable for stepping on it. Turned out fantastic in my humble opinion. I also found this finish to work great everywhere there is wood in the cabin - bulkheads, trim, table, etc.
Not sure what to say about the oil, kind of depends what you put on there. If it is teak oil that is an oil based finish already so I would not put anything over the top of that.
