Barefooter92,
i tried the steel wool, problem was the spotty layers that never got taken in by the wood became. sticky/tacky the steel wool just stuck to it and ripped apart andmade a bigger mess... tried light sanding... but then the deck was not uniform any more.... Sooooooooo! i got out my good old sander aaaagain and stripped it all i shall start all over from step one in the morning. this time i will make sure to watch for puddling where the teak is no longer taking it in. (2nd times a charm!) knock on teak

It wouldn't hurt to hit it lightly with a sander again, like 220 grit to get it to take more oil, but not necessary.
If you're not into sanding it, just let it sit in the sun for a few days, it'll soak in. Any excess will be not noticeable and gone quickly once you hit the water anyway. Always leaves a nice little oil slick behind the boat for the first few hrs on the lake.

Go for it. I found a gallon of Daly's Seafin teak oil in a basement from the 60's... Worked Great.
Remember its just a swim platform, not furniture Scotchbrite then teak oil. Repeat as needed

Yesterday i finished sanding off the first attempt which turned out gummy and nasty. i put a new coat on last night and after about 20 min i took a rag and whiped it down to take off what wasnt soaking in. it came out pretty good. ill post a picture when i get a chance.
** check this idea out** before throwing the oil on last night a friend of mine said "you should get a brand made up that says mastercraft heat it up and then burn it into the center board of the deck. then stain over it." basicly engraving the teak. i thought it was a kinda cool idea. VERY RISKY though if you mess up, really only get one shot at it. has any one ever attempted this or thought about doing it?
