T&T: Teak / Brightwork & Clear Coat

[Paul Brannon]

I used the Awl-Brite system on my exterior teak in early 2006 and sat in the 
sun until a few months ago.  I was in Jacksonville Florida and south until 
March 2007 when we started up the east coast on the loop.  We are currently 
in the Tennessee River and the bright work still looks like new.  I get 
questions all the time about it.  I used 4 coats of varnish then let it 
completely cure out (a month exposed) then put on 7 coats of the Awl Brite. 
I am very pleased with the results.
