I have used steel wool, the very fine stuff, I think '000 grade', on
both my table and just recently on the teak and holy floor boards which
had dark water stains.....no problems with it staying on the surface and
definitely no rust stains....in both instances, the finished job was as
good as it gets.
One lister here has seen my table and can attest to how good the finish
I got.....in actual fact, he was the one that recommended the home made
mixture of TSP, ammonia and water to remove the finish....I chose the
000 steel wool and I would use it again.
Guess I have had a different experience that others.
And how does the steel wool stay on the surface to cause 'rust
stains'? I don't understand how that would happen if you thoroughly
rinsed the surface?
I can send a picture of both to anyone if you want to see the finished
product.

I would never use steel wool on a boat. The steel fiber will stay on
the surface and leave rust stains. I suggest you use bronze wool or a
fine Scotchbright pad instead.

Matt,
If your 'teak ply bulkhead' is in fact 'veneer' I would not sand
it....a better way is to make a mixture of TSP, ammonia and water
and after wetting the veneer with it, dab 000 steelwool, very fine
steelwool and rub over the surface(s).....repeat as
necessary.....rinse with water and let dry and see what you have.
I did the table on my boat that way and then put a danish oil on
it I bought at Lee Valley and it turned out great.
Not that difficult but labor intensive....it was worth it.

Listers:
I recently had my chart table refurbished by a carpenter who
does very nice woodwork. Unfortunately, the refurbished chart
table highlights that other areas of woodwork need some TLC, most
notably the teak ply bulkhead wall that the chart table connects
to. Certain areas of teak surface appear lighter in color than
other areas. Any suggestions on refinishing the teak veneer that
a non-expert can safely undertake? Is sanding too risky due to
the thinness of the veneer?
