once it soaks in it is hardly oily to the touch. Lew --- On Fri, 7/2/10, Lori <[email protected]> wrote:
From: Lori <[email protected]> Subject: [IC27A] Re: teak To: [email protected] Date: Friday, July 2, 2010, 10:08 AM I've been using an oil/sealant I found online called Teaqua for the past 5 years. It lasts all season without touching up, I'm still looking pretty good from last year's June coat so I might skip it this year. It's easy to apply,and clean up, dries to touch quickly, and then I just forget about it. While I don't have that Cetol color or shine, I do like how it feels and the look works for me for the time I put into it. I'll post a photo if I can figure out how, I tend to be more a lurker these days. I did try it on a spot inside, but didn't care for it. I do like the look of that Formsby Tung Oil, Does it feel....dry?
