Over the last three years, the finish has been falling off my teak (sounds like a euphemism...) Mostly in the upper areas especially on the panel above the V-berth. The teak underneath the finish is much lighter in color, and I have no idea how to fix this. I would like to keep the original rich color. The first pic shows the fwd port side in the main cabin, the second pic shows the wall over the V berth where I sampled poly urethane (upper) and total-boat wood sealer (lower) patches. The poly made some of the teak match, but mottled, and some of the lighter areas remained light. Uggh. I am guessing I need to further sand the light areas and stain them somehow? I thought I had read somewhere on here about someone doing that but can't find it?
Any ideas how to get this teak to look somewhat uniform? Do I need to sand all the old finish off? I don't think that is possible. In some areas it is thinner than paper.
Thanks for your ides!
