Montypals: My teak brightwork is looking rather sorry on my M15. I think it had some kind of cetol coating on it. In any event it is quite weathered. I would like to clean it up and finish it if possible. Doesn’t need to look showroom great, but some help here. So, what is the process? Do I chemical clean it first somehow? And then regarding sanding it, I assume I mask the areas off and hand sand somehow? What is the process there, and what kind of sand paper? Finally, when properly prepped, what would be a simple coating to paint on there? I have never done anything like this before. By the way, recent short blog post in Kestrel at my usual place. New sails though! http://danielsailingandcycling.wordpress.com/2014/08/20/sailing-in-my-favori... Daniel Rich M15 #208 "Kestrel" danielgrich@gmail.com
