This finish will aid in prolonging
the honey color of your teak outdoors while adding
some stain resistance. However, it is not a permanent
solution! Over time, the elements will break down
the finish and natural weathering will
occur. (Please refer to the section on Natural Teak
for weathering expectations.) If you want to prolong
the honey color, you will need to reapply the finish
BEFORE it begins to show signs of weathering. (Protective
UV Inhibitor will not restore lost color.) Applying
UV Inhibitor is relatively easy and re-application
can be done by a nonprofessional. However, this
process is time consuming and strict adherence
to directions is necessary. The challenge is one
of timing and the condition of the finish prior
to reapplication. Our experience and recommendation
is that you enlist the help of a professional in
order to achieve the desired results, thereby avoiding
disappointment or other problems. Giati will be
happy to provide recommendations for purchasing
the correct products. |
