Charlie: After you remove the water stains, I would highly recommend using a stain to get all the teak to match in shade. I was able to buy the original stain used in our C&Cs on Amazon. I’ve mentioned the exact stain and provided a link to buy it in my blog some time ago. I will try to look it up and send the info to you...
