New Projects

[Boatboy6]

Hopefully starting in April I am planning on doind a few small projects on my familys 23 foot 1984 seacraft center console. I do have some questions though, how do you: restore teak, clean/polish fiber glass, and what do you use to clean stainless? Lastly is it possible to save a console window that has crystalized? We will also be having this icom m504 radio installed,

I do have some questions though, how do you: restore teak,

Teak: The last time I did it I sanded (thoroughly) and applied 3 coats of Sikkens Cetol. It lasted about 2 years in southern SC sun.

clean/polish fiber glass,Meguires and others have complete systems for this. Bring on the elbow grease

and what do you use to clean stainless? A phosophoric acid solution (Mary Kate on/off) will remove the rusty looking stains left from SS. The metal itself if not too bad can be brought back with a mild abrasive made for fiberglass...Meguires restore and wax or similar. Again, bring on the elbow grease.

Lastly is it possible to save a console window that has crystalized? replace it.

We will also be having this icom m504 radio installed, Excellent radio. I have it also. Wire it to your GPS for DSC and emergency signaling.

Post some pics!! Good luck!!

Sikkens Cetol, is this teak oil or varnish? It will be wired to the gps, also how do you register the dsc? Here she is,

No more pics until this snow melts (we are having a noreaster as we speak)right now she is sleeping nicely in the garage in chealsea ma. Till then dont worry because when i start you guys will have pictures and videos.Thanks!
