I recently re-oiled the teak on my C22 and even with the utmost care, still got a few stains on the boat. I've heard acetone is the only way to remove these stains, but I've also heard that stuff can be quite harmful. I was wondering if anyone had any other ways to remove teak stains from the fiberglass of the boat. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Recently, one member had an incident with stain spillage on his boat. He tried different things and I think, he finally cleaned that with household bleach. You could also try
FSR (fiberglass stain remover). Good luck.

A lot of my deck is that tanish color. Do I have to be really careful with the stain, or will it not really damage that tan color? Thanks
