I have had good luck by washing the teak deck in the spring using soap,
water and bleach. A little scrubbing and the decks look wonderful all
summer long.

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
