[Public-list] Painting teak toerails

[Dan Pinson]

My boat came with Cetol on the exterior. Didn't look too bad although 
had that somewhat plastic look in places. After stewing over what to do, 
I stripped the rails and put tung oil on one side, a marine penofin on 
the other. The wood looked much happier with the oil and the penofin 
held up much better over the winter (half the cost).
