Le Tonkinois

Post by tribologist »

We oiled the outside teak last year but realized it would be a full time project to keep it up we gave up on it but after getting the inside wood all shiny I figured we should spiff upp the outside. I used Cetol on our Whaler but its not looking right. After reading around on the interweb i found several carribian sailors that use Le Tonkinois and are very happy with it. Its a tung oil/ linseed oil mix that does not have solvents so it builds fast snd it is not getting real hard. So far it looks awesome but i have no long term experience. Anyone that used it for a few years that know how it holds up on Swedish Mahoghny.

Looks purty! Probably less work than the varnish over epoxy treatment I did. Making Sunbrella covers would help preserve the finish.
