You should use these products in an open space with eye protection, rubber gloves and good ventilation. Be very careful to avoid spilling these products on any part of your body or boat.
NOTICE
Teak sealers and cleaners can be harmful to other materials. Make sure you thoroughly remove any spills or excess. DO NOT varnish teak as the natural oils in teak will cause poor adhesion.
!WARNING Fire or explosion hazard from fumes accumulating from rags being stored in bilge area. DO NOT store rags used to wipe up fuel or solvent spills in the boat. Dispose of rags properly ashore.
