Cockpit teak refurbishment for winter

I did a little prep work in the teak en the cockpit prepping it for the coming winter. I don't cover the boat so the teak needed some TLC to get it through the winter.

Sanding the cockpit benches.

I sanded the cockpit with sandpaper 100 at first and finished it with 150 gran.

More sanding.

After sanding the teak I treated it with a thick paste of soap. Mixed thick of soap flakes and the just covering the teak with it three time then letting it rest over night and washed the rest of the soap treatment of. i got some help from the rain but it has to set over 24 hours.

Soaping!!.

Soaping in a thick layer.

More teak in the companionway.

Nice cofee enjoying the result of the hard work.

End result.
