Yep…took a long time to get over painting over the teak factor. But Corsair has teak EVERYWHERE. Even the galley countertops. They got a Formica paint.
A little strategically painted white goes a long way to brightening up the cave. Never looked back. David F.

I would think that an oil-based paint would be best but I’m certainly no paint expert. In a way, it seems like a shame to paint over teak but I guess if it lightens up the cabin, why not?

That might eliminate the stains by painting over them and then just sand/varnish/cleanup the teak trim. Do I need any surface prep on the teak (oiled ~8+ years ago) before I paint?

I would like to apply some Epiphanes to all of it--and there is a lot of it inside my 1995 C&C! However, much of it has 'water stains' from various leaks over the years--most of which are now sealed. My question for the list is how or whether to remove these stains--they are not like water marks left by a glass on a wooden table. They are mostly on vertical surfaces and run vertically. There are enough of them to make sanding them a formidable job so I want to be sure that sanding would be necessary. Some web videos show using heat (iron, blow dryers, etc.) to drive the remaining water out and make the stain disappear which is easy enough to try. Anyone on the list have suggestions to reduce the scale of this job--putting several coats of varnish on all of it would be a formidable job in itself--adding sanding to the surface prep, which I realize is probably the most important part of the job, could make it virtually impossible!
