There had been no breakdown in the finish from the initial application done summer of 2000 followed by spending five months in the intense sun of south Florida. We think that if "we" stay on top of the teak and maintain it rather than wait until it needs spots of repair, it should be pretty straightforward. Roberta</FONT></HTML>
