There are lots of sources of information on the care and feeding of teak decks, but so much of it conflicts. Some say brush, most say never brush, 3-M pad or Doodle Bug...
And when you re-calk sections, most show all the calk coming out and the deck slathered in new and sanded down? What do most of you do about small area repair where only a few inches or a foot of material has come lose? Can I clean out just a small section, tape off and fill that section wiping smooth? Also, our survey came back that in places our calk is "Standing Proud" and it is recommended I take a sharp chisel and remove excess material? Broker is saying that will have a negative effect on the skid resistance of the deck?
Totally new to teak decks...
