FAQs
What types of wood is Liberon Teak Oil best suited for?
It is specifically designed for hard and exotic woods such as teak and iroko. It can be used on other dense hardwoods, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I use this oil on interior furniture?
Yes, Liberon Teak Oil is suitable for both interior and exterior use. It provides a durable satin finish that enhances the wood's natural appearance.
How many coats of oil should I apply?
For optimal protection and finish, 2-3 thin coats are generally recommended. Allow adequate drying time between each coat.
How often should I reapply the oil?
The frequency of reapplication depends on the exposure of the wood. For exterior items, reapply annually or when the finish appears dry or faded. For interior items, reapply as needed based on wear.
Does the oil offer protection against water damage?
While it offers a degree of water repellency, its primary function is to nourish the wood and protect against UV fading. For heavy water exposure, additional protective measures might be considered.
What is the drying time between coats?
Typically, allow 6-12 hours drying time between coats, depending on ambient temperature and humidity. Ensure the surface is dry to the touch before applying the next coat.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or blotchiness
Ensure excess oil was thoroughly wiped off after application. Apply subsequent coats more thinly and ensure even coverage. Lightly sand the surface if necessary before reapplying.
Slow drying time
Drying times can be affected by temperature and humidity. Ensure the application area is well-ventilated and at a moderate temperature. Avoid applying too thickly.
Wood appears too dark or 'wet'
Too much oil may have been applied or excess was not removed. Try wiping the surface with a cloth dampened with white spirit to help lift some of the excess oil, then allow to dry completely before proceeding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure wood surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or old finishes. Lightly sand smooth woods if necessary.
Compatibility: Primarily recommended for hard and exotic woods such as teak, iroko, and similar dense timbers. Test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure about compatibility with other wood types.
Application: Apply thinly and evenly with a clean, lint-free cloth or brush. Allow the oil to penetrate for 15-30 minutes, then wipe away any excess with a clean cloth. Apply 2-3 coats for optimal protection, allowing sufficient drying time between each application (typically 6-12 hours).
Care: Clean treated surfaces with a damp cloth. For regular maintenance and to refresh the finish, reapply a thin coat of oil as needed, especially after periods of heavy use or exposure to the elements.
