I've stripped and begun refinishing the teaks in the cockpit. I'm now about to tackle the cap and handrails forward of the cockpit. There is some water damage and black (mold?) damage near the joints on some areas of the caprail and I am contemplating whether to use the 2 part acid cleaner on these, but am somewhat reluctant. My shipwright friend cautions about over zealous sanding as teak is a soft wood and too much material can be removed, so I want to proceed cautiously.
Can I just apply the cleaner to the affected sections, or will the colour be lighter I. The cleaned areas. The underlying wood is now quite bright already.
How long do I need to let this dry afterward? Product says 2 weeks which is near impossible this time of year in Vancouver.
I intend to follow up,with 2 coats Cetol Natural Teak and 6-8 coats Cetol Marine Gloss.
