My cockpit table is in need of refinishing and I can't find a product to duplicate the warm tone of the original. Does anyone know Hanse's original finish specification or a US alternative? Thanks in advance.

Hi Bill, I always used Teak Wonder Oil which restores the warm tone, but I keep always a cover over the table, when I am not on board. Following a suggestion here in the forum I detected Semco. It is a US product and luckily they have a friendly and speedy European distributor in the UK. They have several teak tones, I used the clear tone for the cockpit. Here is my cockpit teak ( boat is from 2013 ).  ------------- Frank |

| Thank you so much. I'll look for that product and give it a try. Your teak looks beautiful. |

I bought a pint (Semco clear tone finish sealant) for 30USD on Amazon. I'm sure there are lower prices, but this was easy. ------------- David S NADINE (Hanse 348 #199) Western Long Island Sound |

| I use Semco a couple of times a year and the cockpit table keeps like new. Paint it on with foam brush then rub in with soft cloth, very easy. Really worth while and makes such a difference to how any teak looks. Like new again! |

What's your recommendation to prep the surface if there are stains to remove? We got our table cover after the fall rainy season. Thinking of using a very light sand paper. I have a good teak oil. Appreciate any thoughts on the prep. Thanks. ------------- Hugh |

| Can try lightly rubbing down but if does not work Semco do a good two part cleaner. Quite a few YouTube videos around that show how to use. Once clean and treated I found just needs a Semco teak treatment a couple of times a year to keep as new. |
