FAQs
Can I use Everbuild Teak Oil on treated pine decking?
Everbuild Teak Oil is best suited for unpolished hardwoods and softwoods. While it may offer some conditioning to treated pine, results can vary. Ensure the pine is bare and unpolished for optimal performance.
How often should I reapply Everbuild Teak Oil?
The frequency depends on the wood's exposure to the elements. For exterior items, reapplication may be needed annually or when the wood starts to look dry again. For interior items, it can last much longer.
Will this oil make my wood look shiny?
No, Everbuild Teak Oil is designed to provide a natural, non-glossy finish that enhances the wood's inherent appearance, rather than creating a high sheen.
Can I use this oil on an internal wooden door?
Yes, as long as the door is made of unpolished timber and does not have any existing varnish, paint, or lacquer.
What is the drying time for Everbuild Teak Oil?
The oil penetrates the wood rather than drying in the conventional sense. It is touch-dry and ready for recoating or use after a few hours, once excess has been wiped away. Full curing may take longer.
Is this product suitable for outdoor furniture?
Yes, it is highly suitable for outdoor unpolished hardwood furniture, helping to restore and protect it from weathering.
Troubleshooting
Wood remains dull after application
The wood may be very dry or porous. Apply a second or third coat, allowing adequate penetration time and ensuring excess oil is wiped away after each application.
Uneven colour or finish
Ensure the wood surface was uniform before application and that excess oil was thoroughly wiped off. Apply a light, even coat to blend any patchy areas.
Oily residue remains on the surface
Wipe the surface thoroughly with a clean, lint-free cloth to remove any unabsorbed oil. This may need to be done multiple times.
Oil does not seem to penetrate
Check that the wood is indeed unpolished and bare. Existing finishes, paint, or varnish will prevent the oil from soaking in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, grease, or old finishes. Lightly abrade heavily weathered surfaces with sandpaper and wipe clean.
Application: Apply liberally with a brush, cloth, or sponge, working the oil into the wood grain. Allow the oil to penetrate for 15-30 minutes. Wipe away any excess oil that has not been absorbed with a clean, lint-free cloth. For very dry or porous wood, a second application may be necessary after a few hours, following the same procedure.
Compatibility: This oil is specifically formulated for unpolished, bare hardwoods and softwoods. It is not recommended for use on varnished, painted, lacquered, or laminated surfaces, as it will not penetrate and may cause cosmetic issues. It is suitable for furniture, decking, sheds, gates, and other wooden structures.
Care: Store the oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use. Dispose of oily rags responsibly, as they can pose a spontaneous combustion risk; lay them flat to dry outdoors or soak them in water before disposal.
