Some people love weathered teak and its’ gray tint, but for others the original color is more beautiful. If you are one of those people who like the original luster, never fear. Teak refinishing is a relatively simple process that is explained below.
Step number one is to wash your furniture really well with a soap made for teak. Getting all the dust or dirt off the surfaces is important for the sanding process that comes next. This soap can be found at almost any hardware store. This step can take into account any minor teak repair that can be taken care of by minor sanding.
Before starting to sand the teak make sure it is completely dry. Using an orbital sander and a very fine grit sandpaper start sanding and do not stop until the honey color of new teak shines through. Make sure there is no gray left, and be sure to wear safety equipment during the process. Use a dry cloth when done to get all dust off of the surfaces.
The next two steps are relatively easy. Buy teak oil at your hardware or paint store. Apply with a soft brush or cloth until the wood no longer absorbs the oil. The teak should begin to shine a golden honey color at this point. Teak Master can do the same for decks.
