Just completed the bright work on this 36′ Pearson.  Deks Olji D1 and D2 oil varnish was used.  Six coats were applied producing great depth and rich color!  The varnish works great it’s very forgiving and does not peel or crack over time just wares off.  Maintenance down the line is limited to cleaning with the deck cleaner and reposting with the varnish.  

I’ve just applied the fifth and sixth coat of Deks Olji D2 oil varnish to this beautiful classic sloop.  The varnish creates great depth and lasting beauty!  This varnish won’t peel or crack it just wears off over time.  A good cleaning and then recoat is all that is required to bring back this rich, classic, teak bright work!  

I just completed the final coat today six total!  Looks great now on to the decks! 

Just want to show this old Pierson’s teak work.  I just appled the second coat of Deks Olji D2 oil varnish four more to go!  What a great system!  Give Swab, Inc. a call for a teak/bright work consultation.  The varnish I use is a non film forming oil varnish a oil is applied first to penitrate and water proof the teak prior to varvishing.  The system is great and provides a much lower maintanace schedule down the road!  

This is the first varnish job of the year for Swab,Inc.   The varnish was in good shape just needed minor preparation.  I applied six coats af All Grip varnish to make a total of eight coats.  I also cleaned a aft hatch with Deks Olji cleaner and applied D1 oil.  Very nice product to work with! 

To All It May Concern,

I just wanted to post to everyone listening  that I have decided to transition out of the home painting business.  I will be focusing on marine work particualy bright work and teak refinishing.  In addition,  Swab, Inc. will offer consultation services regarding the use of these great linseed oil products that I’ve been using for the last ten plus years.  I’ve also had some great success with design and production of live edge tables, please take a look!  Thank you to all that I’ve worked for in the home painting industry I wouldn’t have  made it to this point if it wasn’t for you!  Now its time to cast off the dock lines and sail to a new course.  See you at the waters edge!

Warm Regards,

Marc Luebstorff

 

About three months age I found a oil varnish that was very similar in process and application to the Linseed oil varnish I was accustomed to using.  To date the pieces that I’ve tested on our boat look great with no deterioration!  The look is beautiful and rich with a very nice shine.  Recently I brought a client to my boat to show him the two different kinds of oil varnish that I’ve tested and he chose the Deks Olji.   Here is a link to the customer test Swab, Inc. was featured in on the Owatrol USA website.

I’m experimenting with Deks Olje a oil varnish to our pressure treated porch railing.  The front of our house is a western exposure in Washington, D.C., very bright!  The system is identical to my linseed oil system also a oil varnish.  The best attribute of a oil varnish is that it won’t peel or crack.  It just wares off over time thus leaving the future maintenance relatively easy and low cost!  I applied six coats to achieve a nice depth of finish.  Time will tell but I’m anticipating three to five years before maintenance is required.  The maintenance is basically cleaning and re-coating a few more times.  Low cost given you start with the right system.  Enhance the curb appeal of your home enhance your exterior wood work/bright work/furniture.

I’m experimenting with Deks Olje a oil varnish on our 1981 O’Day sailboat teak floor panels.  I used the whole Deks Olje system starting with the cleaner then the D.1 and ending with the D.2 the oil varnish.  The panels were in pretty good shape they just needed a few repairs, cleaning and varnishing.  I applied six coats of oil varnish to the panels.  This varnish is not a film forming varnish so six coats is a good number of coats to achieve nice depth.  The varnish does not peel or crack leaving maintenance easier just clean and re-coat.  The varnish went on great no sanding and it looks really great!  My boat was built in 1981 look at those floor panels!

This is a relatively inexpensive process to clean up the teak and bright work on your boat.  Willing to travel for the right project.

I recently replaced the old row house basement door.  The brick opening had to be redone.  The installation went well.  Soon as the tempurarure goes up I’ll paint using linseed oil paint.  This is a good example of how Swab, Inc. can improve your home.
