I have some teak trim that I was able to strip the old varnish and epoxy from. I planed it and it looks like new now but it has a diesel smell from a spill that occured by the PO. Does anyone know how to get the smell out of teak? Tim R.

I would sand and oil it...

That would let the wood breath. I would wait a year then finish it. You going to be sorry

It evaporates with time.

Be patient.

If you have the time, the best thing you can do is lay it out in the sun. Nothing kills odors like sunshine.
