CAN THEY BE FIXED? Did you clean and sand the teak back to bright wood before applying the oil? A proper oiling requires nearly as much prep work as varnish, but you are absolutely correct to avoid varnishing a swim platform. If you didn't spend time in prep, what you did "wrong" was to apply teak oil to a layer of dirt instead of the teak itself. |
