Brand: Semco
Located in: Paints, Teak Oils & Wood Finish
Semco teak sealer waterproofs and protects teak. This durable protectant maintains a protective coating through winter, eliminating the need for deep cleaning. Semco teak wood sealant goes on easy, dries quickly, and provides a non-slip finish. Most teak protectants are solvent and linseed oil based, and oxidize over time. This is what causes teak wood to 'gray.' Semco teak sealer eliminates these problems. This product can also be used on other woods such as cedar, oak, and pine, though you will need to varnish over it on those woods for a gloss finish.

Comments about Semco Semco Teak Sealer:

After using this product, which was recommend by a professional yacht captain, I wouldn't use anything else. The results are great and lasts far longer than any finish I've used. Anyone want some half-empty bottles of teak oil?

 
Semco stinks!

Powerful toxic odor

Comments about Semco Semco Teak Sealer:

I am very happy with this product and how easy it was to apply. Results were great. However, the minute the delivery box was opened I could smell a horrible pungent odor. I had to hire a painter to stain my benches because the odor was so strong. It had a really strong acrid smell. My neighbors complained! Otherwise, happy.

Comments about Semco Semco Teak Sealer:

The natural color product had been used on a new deck and on a restored deck with equal success. The old deck was sanded and Semco applied in two back to back coats. The two decks are very similar in appearance. This is a very easy product to apply with either a foam or bristle brush. Excess wipes off easily to give a very even and consistent color tone to the sealed teak.

Comments about Semco Semco Teak Sealer:

I used this produnt to restore a table and chair set of high-quality teak outdoor furniture. The Semco sealer was easy to apply using a large brush. The freshly sealed wood was darker in color, as one would expect, but the natural coloration returned after a few days.

Comments about Semco Semco Teak Sealer:

I apply two, back to back coats each spring and the teak is protected for the rest of the year. That includes winter since the boat is kept in the water all year. My 1985 era teak looks new and draws a lot of compliments wherever I go.

Comments about Semco Semco Teak Sealer:

I have 12 year old teak and recently cleaned with a two part cleaner and covered using the SEMCO product. I was looking for the newer teak look so I mixed 1 part natural with 4 parts gold. The product goes on with an orange color but softens as it dries. I was very pleased with cover and final color. Beware this does soften the black caulk between boards. The product dries to a dull finish. I applied one coat of the SEMCO clear coat over the sealer and ended up with a slight sheen to the finish very similar to freshly oiled teak. It has only been one month and the finish has held up great.

Comments about Semco Semco Teak Sealer:

I've been using Semco for 3 seasons. It's very easy to apply and 2 - 3 coats look good and last all season. Coats dry in minutes which is great! The past couple of years I used the Gold Tone, which is an Orangish color but looks nice. This year I tried mixing 50-50 gold and natural to tone it down. Looks more natural, but doesnt cover as well. Probably go back to gold next year.

Old Teak renewed
By IanVerified Reviewer from Bristol on 5/16/2008
Pros:
Even Paint Distribution, Pigmented semi transpare, Requires less prep
Best Uses:
Older teak that is grey, Teak that is exposed more
Describe Yourself:
Do-It-Yourself
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Semco Semco Teak Sealer:

The semco- semi transparent worked great on older teak that is a grab rail, and lines the gunwall of my my 23 ft slickcraft. I have been cleaning, prepping and oiling it continuously each year. This year I tried sealing the teak vs oiling, 2 coats should last a season. The tint is light orange / natural wood, I mixed the pigmnented with clear for a softer finish.
