How to repair cracks in a teak outdoor flower pot caused by seasonal changes?
Teak outdoor flower pots are durable but can develop cracks due to seasonal temperature changes. Here’s a step-by-step guide to repairing them:
1. Clean the Pot: Remove dirt and debris from the crack using a brush and mild soap. Let it dry completely.
2. Sand the Area: Lightly sand the cracked area with fine-grit sandpaper to smooth rough edges.
3. Apply Wood Filler: Use a teak-friendly wood filler to fill the crack. Press it firmly and wipe off excess.
4. Let It Dry: Allow the filler to dry as per the product instructions.
5. Sand Again: Once dry, sand the area lightly for a smooth finish.
6. Seal the Pot: Apply a teak sealant to protect against future cracks and moisture.
Regular maintenance, like sealing annually, can prevent further damage. With these steps, your teak pot will look as good as new!
