I have a teak wood outdoor table and chairs that were stained when we purchased them but the stain has worn off in several places and the paper wasps are chewing the wood to make their nests. There is no way to get all the old stain off between the slats of wood so I am looking for something that will blend/cover the areas of old dark stain and exposed wood. I have been told that a solid stain will do the job. I need something with more of a sealer to prevent the wood from being eaten, to ease in cleaning the table and prevent food/grease stains and also be food safe. I live in MN and have a cover for winter months. Suggestions?
Thanks,
Leigh

Sorry, I just checked the paperwork from the table and it says that it is eucalyptus not teak! (I should have known better based on the way it is weathering). Anyway, there is just no way to get all the old stain completely off. Benjamin Moore folks told me that a solid stain would cover the raw wood and the old stain and let me change the color slightly. I don't see that Armstrong Clark has any solid stains. Do you have another suggestion?
Thanks.

Here are the pictures. The slats on the table have about 3/8" in between with some wood bracing under. You can see the wasp damage on the chair.
Thanks,
