Default Epoxy on teak - How to apply?

Question for you:

Was your teak blackened from regular teak oil and did the Teka turn it
back to teak color?

I made the mistake of trying teak oil this year thinking it wouldn't
blacken as much as it did in this climate and short season. Never
again. Also, every little drip on the non-skid that you don't see
later turn black and almost unremovable. Even wiping down with mineral
spirits vigorously immediately upon spilling doesn't prevent a black
spot a couple weeks later.

My old teak has been scraped and cleaned so many time that I hate to
take off another 1/32 of an inch.

I haven't decided what to do next spring. There seem to be as many
opinions as decks.

Hi,

I am in the process of applying epoxy (105 + 207) to teak wood,
which I prepared with Teka Cleaner (A+B). I am brushing the epoxy on
with a nylon brush.

What can I do to minimize the legions of tiny bubbles in the
surface? I
tried smoothing with the brush, which helps some, but not enough.

Also, the cured surface is a bit textured, not as smooth as I had
hoped. How can I make the resin 'flow' smoother?

Thanks a lot,

Chris
