Hello Rehd,
Missed you (and cookies) at R2K2 this year!
The coaming was laminated with 1/16" pieces so no steam bending was needed.
The oil slowly works it's way back to the freshly cut surface so I made it a point to clean the surface just prior to glueup.
I would bet that the oil, being pretty thin when heated (after steaming), would tend to work it's way back to the surface quicker.

: Hi Joe
: Good to hear from you!
: Really looks nice!
: Was the Teak difficult to bend around the coaming( one layer or multi )?
: Never used it except on flat surfaces and used Laquer or Polyurethane to
: cover, ( after cleaning oil off as well with Laquer thinner ) Did you need
: to steam bend it? If so, did you clean it right away or wait till you were
: ready to glue it up? I was wondering if it would be a problem with the
: wood warm, having the oil keep bleeding into the cleaned off areas.
