DALY'S Wood Finishing Products Seafin Teak Oil, 1 Quart, Clear, Quart

This is the only finish I will use on a woodworking project. My master woodworker uncle Dave introduced me to it several decades ago and he is right--there is no finer finish than Daly's Seafin for letting the natural beauty of the wood shine through. And it adds 20% hardness to the wood too. Plus it is very easy to apply. 1) Apply with a rag or brush 2) Massage it with some extra fine sandpaper (400+ grit) 3) Let it sit for 10 minutes 4) Wipe off the excess 5) After drying (24 hours, depending on heat and humidity) burnish with some 0000 steel wool 6) Carefully wipe off the steel wool dust 7) Apply another coat (I usually use 4-6 coats) Note: while I use Daly's Seafin Oil on nearly all of my indoor and outdoor projects, I do not use it for cutting boards, as it is not food safe. I use food grade mineral oil for that application. In my opinion, there is no finer finish than Daly's Seafin. I purchase 3-4 quarts a year for my projects. You'll always find it in my cabinet.

Worked better than anything else I have ever used on Ipe wood

Good coating for my old teak patio furniture and seem to repel water. Also gave a restored look, Below are the pictures of pre and post 2 applications of Seafin teak oil product

I used the Daly's Teak Oil on top and the Ship & Shore sealer, both products were very compatible. However even the Teak oil needs several coats with sanding in between before a final smooth film will develop and fill in the grain. When finished, the (interior) table will look amazing and be well protected against the marine environment. These products are more forgiving than Varnish.

Learned about Daly's Seafin in the early '70's from an old wooden boat fanatic in Seattle. Used it on a boat I built, then started using it on anything I made from wood. Do not confuse it with other products from more recognized brands - Seafin is superior in every way (except maybe price). Very thin, it penetrates deeply, then hardens and strengthens the wood fiber. You'll need a minimum of 3 coats, waiting a day between each, before you can consider how you want to wrap it up - as-is, waxed, hard top coat of another product, or further coats buffed to a however much shine you seek. Only downside is once you've opened the can and air gets in, you've got about a year to use it. It's pricey stuff, so I've tried about every other brand of oil finish out there - nothing compares to the finish, the benefit to the wood itself, or the longevity of protection in the elements. Seafin is what an oil wood finish should be. Somehow, these guys got it right, and nobody else comes close, so far.

Last year I bought a quart of this based on a recommendation from a friend. I liked it so well, I bought a second quart, and I use it on our cruiser. It goes on easily, penetrates well and has held up well since the last application. I put the first coat on with a rag but have since used a paintbrush for a heavier coat.

This oil made such a difference on our teak outdoor furniture! I researched a number of different teak oils and landed on this one based on my research and the various reviews. Not disappointed! We oiled a table, 4 chairs and a bench with one can and it gave us a flawless finish. Already ordered a second can for other projects!

I use this product exclusively on our boat’s teak. Only thing to use on teak.
