I went to an auction and got about 30 sheets of teak plywood at a price you would not believe so I wont post it. All marine grade , 3/4 , 1/2 and 1/4. Some of it is teak and holly.
Some is absolutely gorgeous and other pieces have some kind of dirt on it.
It is dusty and can vacuum a little off, and sand a little more off, and then wipe the rest with water or thinner, I think I can get it all the way clean, but it wont be easy. I am actually thinking of power washing it since the very fine black dust has worked its way into the grain.
I have about 10 pieces of 1/4 teak like this and was wondering what the heck. The wood was all stacked together so how could that get in there. Perhaps the teak's natural oil just attracted the dirt over the years in the lumber yard.
It almost seems as if the wood could be decomposing on itself, but is that really possible with marine grade ply stored indoors?
