Masking an outdoor table - what will stick to oiled teak?

[omniflow]

I'm in the process of refurbishing our outside dining table. It's an Aluminium frame with a teak plank top. For reasons best known to myself, I started with the wood - a thorough sand, scrub with teak cleaner and then 4 coats of teak oil. It's now time to paint the frame. I've used wet a dry to thoroughly sand all the bubbling and flaking areas and now I'm well and truly stuck trying to mask the wood so I can spray the frame. Masking tape just doesn't stick to the wood - which isn't all that surprising as it's freshly oiled.

Will duck / duct tape work, or is there something more suitable?

Easier to unscrew the wood from the fame, perhaps?

spray it upside down so you can just lay stuff over the underside of the teak top? That way it doesnt need to stick?

Depending on what needs masking, what about cling film?

This I would have thought?

I thought someone might suggest this - the table is about 20 years old and I really didn't fancy trying. However, prompted by the above I had a go. All of the screws came out very easily and the wooden slats lifted off in almost one piece (the two end pieces made a bid for freedom).

I love it when a low-tech solution works
