Teak oil is a popular product for protecting, preserving, and restoring wood surfaces. Applying teak oil with the proper technique can add years of life to your wood surfaces, whether they are outdoor furniture, decks, or wood paneling. In this guide, I will show you how to use teak oil on wood surfaces to keep them looking beautiful and lasting for generations.
Preparing the Wood
Before you apply teak oil to any wooden surface, you must prepare the wood first. Start by sanding the wood to remove any scratches, dents, or other blemishes. Sand the wood in the direction of the grain, and move up to finer grits until the surface is smooth. Once the sanding is complete, wipe the wood down with a clean cloth to remove any dust or debris.
Applying the Teak Oil
Once the wood is prepared, you are ready to apply the teak oil. Start by using a clean cloth to apply a generous amount of teak oil to the wood. Make sure to cover the entire surface, paying special attention to any nooks and crannies. Once the wood is completely covered, let the oil sit for at least an hour to let it penetrate the wood.
Removing the Excess Oil
Once the oil has been given time to penetrate, you are ready to remove the excess oil. Start by wiping the wood down with a clean, dry cloth. Make sure to get into all of the nooks and crannies. Once you have removed the excess oil, you are ready to move on to the next step.
Polishing the Wood
Once the excess oil has been removed, you are ready to begin polishing the wood. Start by using a clean cloth to apply a light coat of teak oil to the wood. You want to use just enough oil to give the wood a nice, glossy sheen. Once you have finished polishing the wood, let it sit for at least an hour to let the oil soak in.
Caring for the Treated Wood
Once the teak oil has been applied and the wood has been polished, you are ready to start caring for the treated wood. Start by wiping the wood down with a clean cloth on a regular basis to remove any dust or debris. You should also use a mild soap and water solution to clean the wood on a regular basis. This will help to keep the wood looking its best.
