Sanding isn’t really the way to go. Copper brush like mentiked above will work. My off-season ritual is TSP and a plastic scour pad and plastic bristle brush. Then add teak oil. I over-apply a little bit on the oil. That keeps things clean and still a little tacky. No matter what your grit of sandpaper, it’s going to be too smooth after. Adhesive just doesn’t stick well to wood. The rhino is probably your best bet to cover the teak. I always hate to see teak covered as it’s only getting more and more rare but until the finerglass platforms come down in price or teak goes up I guess we gotta do what we gotta do.
