After transitioning Swab, Inc. to the marine teak/brightwork market this year I decided to start making linseed oil soap. I've been using this great soap for years now and its a critical step for linseed oil paint preparation as well as for brightwork/teak preparation! I found out that it works great for cleaning your boat and the best aspect is that it is all natural and safe for our precious waters! [ 93 more words ]

I've started to make a natural linseed oil soap. It makes a great boat soap especially for cleaning your Teak and all things wood on your boat and home. Here I am using to clean our deck which needed a good cleaning! Linseed Oil Soap is a liquid soap made from purified raw flaxseed oil and water/lye mixture. I've made nice four ounce samples available now for pick up at our boat! [ 25 more words ]

I started the third and final phase of the teak on our S2 11 Meter. Varnishing six coats in total. It's a long process but worth it! The depth and protection created with six coats is superior and beautiful from Deks Olje's oil varnish. This varnishes main ingredient is linseed oil, my favorite wood preservative. If used properly it can last years not to mention make your boat really stand out among the fleet! [ 80 more words ]

I've started to make linseed oil soap! This soap could almost be called a "one for all soap" including great for shaving and shower. Linseed oil soap is made from purified raw flaxseed oil "linseed oil", distilled water and lye all natural ingredients! I've been testing making this soap and plan on selling small samples of it starting this year. The soap works great as a boat soap and cleaning your grayed out Teak. [ 27 more words ]

I've recently completed the next step in completing the bright work on our sailboat. Had lots of help from my crew, Pepper! Also during this stage I used linseed oil soap that I'm now producing. The boats bright work has been cleaned and oiled with Deks Olji D1. Really like the oiled look might just leave it this way! The next step would be to varnish six coats with the Deks Olji D2.

I just completed refinishing the bright work of this classic Ketch! It took me thirty days to strip, prep and varnish with six coats. In addition to varnishing I caulked where the bright work met the deck. This will help with water going under neith the teak. This was a big project and I was pleased the progress. My process is very efficient, long lasting and very cost effective comparatively speaking! Give a call to talk about your boats bright work⛵️

I started refinishing the teak on this beautiful vessel! She had been redone only two years ago with epathain varnish and has failed miserably. This is what happens to the traditional film forming varnishes there is only a few mills of protection that lies on top of the teak. Once the varnish becomes brittle it cracks and let's moisture in leading to complete failure. [ 110 more words ]
