Wax on teak?

Try an ice cube to harden it, then use a stiff toothbrush.

Along the right lines, hotel supply stores sell a spray that freezes allsorts like gum and wax. A fine bronze suade-shoe brush may also help. If all else fails give good old K2R drycleaning spray a go.

Fish

I used a fabric drycleaning spray and it worked well. Sprayed, let it dry and then brushed it with a coarse plastic brush.....re-did the process and the stain was gone.

Oil On teak?

I was oiling our capping rail on my last boat and dropped the brush (I know.. Rookie) we had drop sheets down but a thin peice of material normally isnt enough.. I went and told the captain straight away.. Whats the best way to get it out?

Using acid makes on spot on the deck Really nice and that stands out too much.. Any other advice?

What did you drop it on (teak, gellcoat, paint...)?

The teak deck

Start by floating it off. Dam the area and keep it wet. As the oil float out suck it in with an oil pad. For any residual use a mild teak cleaner like Starbrite's.

Use K2R carpet cleaning spray/powder. BOW sells it.

Never heard of that. I'll put it in my book. Do you recommend it just for oil on teak or what other types of stains?

It works well on oil type stains, potatoe chip droppings, oil, etc. etc. it will remove gum like stuff too sometimes. You just spray it on and it dries to a white powder and you brush it off and the stain is gone. Someone else mentioned it in this thread up a few posts. It's in a white smaller can with blue writing. It doesn't effect the color of the teak at all. It may be a drycleaning spray as mentioned above, I don't remember exactly what the can says...except the name of the product is k2r, it works well on carpet also.

You can also use a small steam generator (Kitchen, bathroom cleaner type).
The steam opens the pore of the wood and basically emulsifies the wax to droplets, all ready to mop up and leaves no marks.

This also good for lifting tired staining on the boards, use a wide head with a towel on the bottom so it will lift all the rubbish off, leaving it ready for a new coat.

I'm not 100% sure but I think K2R was outlawed in the states. I used it for along time but cannot find it anymore. Thats what I was told.

Hi,
Don't panic it will fade in a relatively short time- look how long the things you Oil and want to last actually last.

I once had to cover an entire teak chair in beeswax because the owner didn't want to use any solvents that might hurt the environment. Presumably they did not realize the impact of teak lumber harvesting.

We still buy it through several sources.

Google. Many sources.
