@@nesse630 really? When you buy a tool, you keep it and keep using it in a period of years, you don't have to buy new one every time. So, the cost of the tool is devided throughout the number of project you use. To make it more clear, you don't buy a new couch every time you sit and watch a movie... Besides that, what tool in this video cost hundreds of dollars? The orbital sander? Ok, do not buy it and just hand sand. More time consuming but much cheaper also. A project doesn't need that many tools. There are many videos out there showing alternative (cheaper) methods to get the job done. Lastly, don't forget that (probably) you and (surely) me, we are hobbyists and buying all the tools you think you need is expensive, but for some, this is a part or their whole income source.

This video is the best example of Minnesotan culture in action that I've seen since eating some leftover lutefisk hotdish for a little lunch. It was accurate right down to the polite interruption by that lady and the huge understatement about the improvement to the table.

The teak looks amazing and this table looks NOTHING like it started out. Beautifully done!

I've neutralized with mineral spirits and once with white vinegar, some products say water (but usually stains are caused by water). I go with mineral spirits, it seemed to work best. One chair was really stained, so I applied the bleach and just let it sit for a whole 24 hours, no damage to the wood grain. So BigGoucho might be on to something, I'm not a chemist. I also got results using a soap flake finish right after the bleach, making sure to get all the bleach off before letting it dry. I used real wood bleach and also tried a recipe I saw online - a concoction of Barkeepers Friend powder, hydrogen peroxide and a small bit of concentrated chlorine bleach,and the homemade brew was just as effective, worked even faster.
