Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or patchy appearance
Ensure excess oil was completely wiped off after application. Apply another thin coat and ensure thorough removal of any standing oil.
Wood still looks dry after application
The wood may be very absorbent. Apply additional coats, allowing adequate drying time between each, until the desired finish is achieved.
Tacky or sticky surface after drying
Too much oil was applied or not enough excess was removed. Buff the surface with a cloth dampened with mineral spirits to remove the sticky layer, then allow to dry thoroughly.

Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old finishes. Lightly sand any rough areas. For previously oiled surfaces, ensure they are clean and dry.
Application: Apply Liberon Teak Oil liberally along the grain using a clean, lint-free cloth or brush. Allow the oil to penetrate the wood for 15-30 minutes, then wipe away any excess oil that has not soaked in with a clean cloth. Apply a second coat after 24 hours if needed, following the same procedure. For full protection, multiple thin coats are recommended over successive days.
