Product Information
Full details
Bartoline Teak Oil is a specialized wood treatment designed for homeowners and woodworkers looking to restore and protect dense hardwoods like Oak and Teak. It serves as an essential maintenance solution for weathering-prone garden furniture and matt-finished interior wood pieces by replenishing natural oils. While highly effective at enhancing the wood's durability and appearance, users must exercise caution during cleanup, as used application cloths present a self-ignition fire hazard if not handled correctly.

FAQs
Can I use this on softwoods?
While formulated for dense hardwoods, it can be used on softwoods, but test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Do I need to sand the wood before every coat?
No, only sand before the first application to remove old finishes or debris.
How many coats should I apply?
For optimal results, 2 to 3 coats are recommended.
Is it safe for indoor furniture?
Yes, it is excellent for traditional matt-finished interior pieces.
How should I clean the brushes after use?
Clean brushes with White Spirit immediately after use.
Why do the application cloths pose a fire risk?
Like many oil-based products, the oxidation process during drying generates heat, which can lead to spontaneous combustion if rags are bundled together.
Troubleshooting
The wood looks patchy after application
This often occurs if the surface wasn't prepped evenly. Lightly sand the area and re-apply a fresh coat.
Oil remains tacky or wet after 24 hours
Too much oil was likely left on the surface. Wipe the area with a clean cloth dampened with a little White Spirit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before you begin, ensure your wood surface is completely clean and dry. If the wood was previously painted or stained, you must sand the surface down to bare wood to ensure the oil can penetrate effectively. Wipe the surface with White Spirit to remove any lingering dust or residue.
Application Steps:
- Use a clean lint-free cloth or a high-quality brush.
- Apply the oil liberally, working it into the grain.
- Allow the oil to soak in for a few minutes.
- Wipe away any excess oil that has not absorbed.
- Wait 24 hours between coats.
Safety Note: Soiled cloths used for application must be washed immediately in warm, soapy water and disposed of safely outside to prevent the risk of self-ignition.
