Hi
We have a double teak door on our garage. Since 2008 (when it was installed), we have oiled it twice a year. Once oiled, it looks good but it appears to me that it is weathering quicker between oiling as time goes on. I'm thinking of varnishing this door at this stage to protect it better and reduce maintenance. A couple of questions (1) what prep would I need to do before varnishing? (last oiled Aug 2012) (2) is there anything else I could consider treating it with that would preserve it better than oiling?
Thanks
