Re: Stus-List Water Stained Floor Board
Rob, you can strip it and bleach it using wood bleach. It will take multiple applications. I generally make the solution stronger than the label says. It is a mild acid so be careful what you get it on, including yourself. It may not remove the entire stain but it certainly lighten it Joel On Wed, Apr 26, 2017 at 9:13 AM robert via CnC-List wrote: > My floor boards are the usual teak and holy veneered.

Re: Stus-List Water Stained Floor Board
Hi Rob, Is the spot just stained or is the wood also showing some rot and structural weakening? If the latter is the case, you may want to inject some penetrating epoxy into the area to strengthen it in addition to refinishing the surface.

Re: Stus-List Water Stained Floor Board
Rob, The cedar ceiling around one of our chimneys became water stained. Every one gave me advice ranging from oxalic acid to 40 grit paper. A 50-50 solution of white vinegar and water did the trick. I used a spray bottle and got the wood good and soaked. This did the trick and it is hard to tell there was any staining or corrective action. Fixing the chimney leak was more challenging.

Re: Stus-List Water Stained Floor Board
Ron: Thank you.I think I will give that a try before I do anything else.I will tape off the 1 sq. ft. area, apply a paint remover to remove the surface finish and then use the vinegar and water solution and see what happens.

Re: Stus-List Water Stained Floor Board
FYI, Oxalic acid is commonly referred to as wood bleach, so yes, that should work.

Re: Stus-List Water Stained Floor Board
We also have water stained areas on our floor boards and will eventually want to refinish them. Once we remove the old finish, what is the recommended recommended varnish? I am presuming a good quality spar varnish, and I don't want to start a proverbial "varnish war". :^) That said, gloss? semi-gloss? satin? Also, we'll have a number of spots around the windows and such, being vertical, rather than horizontal areas. What's best for those? They appear flatter from a finish perspective, and I would like to avoid clashing. Thanks!

Re: Stus-List Water Stained Floor Board
Ron, As Bruce said, wood bleach is oxalic acid. Vinegar has acetic acid. They are both mild acids. Oxalic acid is a frequent ingredient in many boat cleaning products. It is useful for removing the "bow mustache" some boats get when sailing in waters with tannins and other brown staining constituents. https://www.amazon.com/Oxalic-Acid-Bleaching-Wood-Net/dp/B001F2US4U The advantage of using a mild acid is control. You may have to make multiple applications but you can control the rate of bleaching. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA ___ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
