FAQs
How many coats of Bartoline Teak Oil should I apply?
For best results, it is recommended to apply 2 to 3 coats, allowing at least 24 hours of drying time between each coat.
Can I use this oil on pine furniture?
Bartoline Teak Oil is specially suited for hardwoods like Oak and Teak. While it may offer some protection to other woods, its performance and finish are optimized for these specific types.
What should I do with used application cloths?
Used cloths pose a fire hazard due to self-ignition. Immediately after use, wash them thoroughly with soapy water and dispose of them safely outdoors.
How do I clean my tools after using the teak oil?
Clean brushes and other application equipment with White Spirit immediately after use.
Does this oil leave a shiny finish?
No, Bartoline Teak Oil is designed to provide a traditional matt finish, enhancing the natural look of the wood without adding gloss.
How long does the protection last?
The longevity of the protection depends on environmental exposure. Regular application, typically annually or as needed based on wear and weathering, is recommended for continued protection and appearance.
Can I apply this over an existing varnish or paint?
No, the surface must be clean and dry, with any old paint or stain removed by sanding before application for proper oil penetration.
Troubleshooting
Wood still looks dull after application
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and free of old finishes or dirt. Apply additional coats, allowing proper drying time between each, and ensure excess oil is removed after each application.
Uneven finish or blotchiness
This can occur if the oil was not applied evenly or if excess was not removed properly. Lightly sand the affected areas and reapply the oil, ensuring even coverage and removal of all excess.
Wood feels sticky after application
Excess oil may not have been fully removed after the last coat. Wipe the surface down with a clean cloth slightly dampened with White Spirit to remove any sticky residue.
Oil is not penetrating the wood
Ensure the wood is porous and has not been previously sealed with a non-penetrating finish. Verify the wood is clean and dry. For very dense or previously finished wood, more applications or different preparation may be needed.
