A white 3M Scotchbright pad is about the same coarseness as bronze wool. DO NOT use steel wool. My PO used steel staples in upholstery, and I have several lines of rust colored pockmarks in the teak.
Watco Danish Teak Oil is a very close match for the color of the teak in both of my mid-70s boats. Step 1: wash with Murphy’s Oil soap & let dry Step 2: Lemon Oil Step 3: Watco oil & buff when it is all soaked into the teak Rick Brass Imzadi C&C 38 mk 2 la Belle Aurore C&C 25 mk1 Washington, NC From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Gary Russell via CnC-List Sent: Monday, June 05, 2017 7:02 PM To: C&C List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Gary Russell <captnga...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List Wood restoration question I would never use steel wool on a boat. The steel fiber will stay on the surface and leave rust stains. I suggest you use bronze wool or a fine Scotchbright pad instead.

I did the table on my boat that way and then put a danish oil on it I bought at Lee Valley and it turned out great. Not that difficult but labor intensive....it was worth it.

Wolford via CnC-List wrote: Listers: I recently had my chart table refurbished by a carpenter who does very nice woodwork. Unfortunately, the refurbished chart table highlights that other areas of woodwork need some TLC, most notably the teak ply bulkhead wall that the chart table connects to. Certain areas of teak surface appear lighter in color than other areas. Any suggestions on refinishing the teak veneer that a non-expert can safely undertake? Is sanding too risky due to the thinness of the veneer? Matt Wolford _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
