Watco 348758 Teak Oil Plus Stain, Quart, Flagstone, 32 Fl Oz

I do a lot of furniture flipping and found this nice teak set at the curb. I previously used another product which had more polyurethane. Their formula changed and did not love the color it was too red. I saw this on Amazon Watco Teak Oil Plus Stain, Quart, Hazelnut and loved the color. The oil is nice, because it penetrates the wood so nicely, moisturizes it and brings out the beautiful wood grain. It was super easy. Just put on some thick gloves and a piece of cotton rag. As you see in the video it just soaked it up and looked amazing right away. Between the slats you use your finger wrapped in rag and is it super easy, This is oil and it does have a bit of a top coating in there also, because my rag was a bit stiff the next day so it is not only oil. It took one coat only and the quart was enough for the entire set. I could have applied it a little thicker even, because I have a bit left, but it looks fine and wanted to make sure I had enough and did not run out. I did the top a second time and it looks a bit glossier. But one coat would have been rich enough actually. I just LOVE LOVE this color and the finish. Just gorgeous and I am sure I will sell it right away this coming weekend!

I bought a pair of outdoor powder coated lounge chairs. They had wood-like inserts on arm rests. I asked the sales guy what the wood was, he said polywood. Oooookay, these were budget chairs, so understandable. To my surprise it was real teak. After a year in the sun, it got bleached a bit, and picked up some stains from beverages, sunscreen and sweat. So I decided to apply the product. I used a rag twisted in a bun to rub the product onto the panels, hard. The wood got darker at least 3-4 shades (from straw color to mahogany-like) after multiple applications with the rag, and the grain accentuated beautifully. Took a about 10 minutes for 4 arm rest panels. I can do it once a year no problem if it keeps it looking beautiful like that.

easy to apply, great result

My wife coated an old Venetian chair with this twice (2 layers with 1 day break). The chair looks wonderful now, and my wife is happy.

I was very disappointed that the original product I have always used, which on the label says "Teak oil" with "Finish" below, appears to no longer be available. This hazelnut is the closest to the original in color, but has a very slight mustard sort of tint instead of the original (and beautiful) honey gold to slightly orange in the lighter areas to rich browns in the darker. Acceptable, just not quite as pretty as the original on my teak patio set. Beware, there are postings that show the original can as described above, at both here on Amazon and at Home Depot, but that is not what you will get. The other colors, yucky grey tones. PS- for greyed teak, the Star Brite Teak cleaner is awesome!
