NO! there is not short cut if you wnat wnat the teak all one color.

To take down to bare wood I use a heat gun first to get most of it off, then a orbital sander with 80 get to get the rest and finally 120 grit. For areas that get a lot of weather and to build I use West System Epoxy for the first layer, but you have to leave the teak rough so the epoxy does not just lay on top of. Then come back with several layer of varnish. I hand sand between each coat will 120 grit sand paper the Scotts Pads I have tried but prefer the sand paper.
