FAQs
How many coats of Bartoline Teak Oil should I apply?
For best results, we recommend applying 2 to 3 coats. Ensure you allow at least 24 hours of drying time between each coat for maximum protection and durability.
Can I use this oil on painted or varnished wood?
No, this teak oil is not suitable for painted or varnished surfaces. You must remove any existing paint or varnish completely using sandpaper before applying the oil.
What should I do with used application cloths?
Used application cloths can be a fire hazard due to self-ignition. Immediately after use, wash them thoroughly with soapy water and dispose of them safely outdoors.
Is this product suitable for all types of wood?
Bartoline Teak Oil is especially suited for hardwoods such as Oak and Teak. It is ideal for garden furniture or traditional matt finished interior furniture.
How do I prepare the wood surface before applying the oil?
The surface must be clean and dry. Remove any paint or stain with sandpaper, and then wipe the surface with a cloth dampened with White Spirit to remove grease and dirt.
Can this oil be used on a boat deck?
While it is designed for garden and interior furniture, its protective qualities against weathering might offer some benefit. However, it is specifically formulated for hardwoods like Oak and Teak and may not perform as expected on marine-grade woods or in constant water immersion.
How long does the protection last?
The longevity of the protection depends on environmental exposure and wear. Reapplication of 1-2 coats annually or as needed is recommended to maintain optimal protection, especially for outdoor furniture.
Troubleshooting
Wood appears streaky or uneven after application
Ensure excess oil was completely removed after each coat. If the issue persists, reapply a thin, even coat and remove all excess. Ensure the surface was uniformly prepared before application.
Oil is not penetrating the wood
The surface may be too sealed or not porous enough. Ensure the surface has been adequately abraded (if necessary and appropriate for the wood type) and is completely clean and dry. White Spirit can help open the pores slightly if the wood is particularly dense.
Application cloths are difficult to clean
Soak cloths in soapy water immediately after use and agitate thoroughly. For stubborn residue, a solvent like White Spirit may be needed before washing with soap and water.
Wood still looks dull after several coats
Ensure you are applying enough oil and rubbing it in well. Allow sufficient drying time between coats. For very dry or dense wood, more coats might be necessary.
