can I use this wax on a teak dining table? I have used only teak oil in the past. Thanks.

I have used it on my oak dining room table. Gave a very nice finish. Noticed that when spills of liquids happen, they are easy to wipe up and do not soak in the wood. What I did before using it on the whole table was to try it on a small sample edge of the table - waited a few days - wiped it with a damp cloth to see what happened, etc. That way I was testing in the same wood finish as the table top, without risk to the whole table.

No use only liquid gold if you want to keep wool in pristine condition that's it. That alone will keep the wood for ever in perfect condition for years.

The bottle I got from Amazon is 16oz. After a year with the teak deck furniture I don't recommend any brand of teak oil unless you have a good cover [or roof] to protect the items. Oil soaks in and must be reapplied continually-use marine varnish. Varnish yields a different look but protection from sun and dew is much greater than with oil and the natural teak color holds better too

I purchased Watco Teak Oil at Lowes. It was highly recommended by a friend. It penetrated good and left a very nice finish. Hope this helps.

I have used it on stained wax finish and had zero problems but that does not necessarily mean yours is the same as mine. If I were you I would use caution and test it in a place on the back that is not seen in how you position the furniture piece.

I believe he's asking if surfaces treated with the wax are safe for holding or preparing food. I would say no since it is a petroleum based wax. Look for a food safe shellac, beeswax finish, tung oil, mineral oil, ect.

I don't know what you are using it for, but check into using Tung oil? I know a maker of beautiful picnic tables and I believe he uses pure Tung oil, or Minwax Tung oil with additives.Randy

I don't really know. However, this is not a wax I would use on material exposed to water since it will spot. Try it on a small sample and see if you like the results. Since it works great on furniture, you could invest in a can just to try it. I would recommend the clear wax for that purpose.

We used Teak Oil and Amazon makes one available which we used with success as we wanted to keep the fresh new look. the brand was Meguiars. However, you can also pick up teak oil at a good hardware or shipping supply store. It is easy to apply and if you do every year or so it lasts for years and years. I think better than coating with varathane etc. because it does prevent sun damage.

Daddys will work for you. I use it on my stained but not sealed acacia wood dining table.

I used oil they recommended for teak wood furniture- actually bought it from amazon at the same time I ordered the chairs- did it exactly as they directed- and the chairs look awful after only 2 months! So you'd be better off asking someone at Home Depot or Lowes- or returning the chairs- that's a better idea!

Yes! I highly recommend using this oil as it's one of the safest out there. This tung oil is used as a furniture treatment and a first time or after years of neglect or after sanding treatment. Not for a monthly or weekly treatment. Tung oil takes a long time to dry, and thats why it's so good for the wood. It needs to be used properly though. wipe it on, wipe it in, wipe it off, and let it dry! maybe 24 hrs or more, and wax afterward. It would be good for first time treatement. If you need a luster re-freash then I would use a lemon oil for furniture or something instead.Or just a wax product. all treatments will darken the wood. Teak doesn't need this type of treatment as it has it's own oil.

Hi,Most tables like this use ball baring's so any light weight oil like 3 in 1 will work. Life the table off the stand and carefully oil the stem and baring's. I hope this helps.Thanks,JoePastryitems

Anise oil is very strong! If you added it to tea, you should use a very small amount

This is wonderful wax for linoleum floors as well a wide variety of surfaces in addition to wood. Since the company that manufactured it advised using furniture paste wax, I would feel safe using this. I have never had occasion to use it on copper so I would probably test it on a SMALL area and wait a day to see if it caused any problems. Perhaps even something else you have that is copper? I will be interested in knowing how well it does work. Good luck.

We have refinished multiple dining table tops and top coated with Enduro-Varnish and have had great results. We always spray the finish and it has to cure before put it in use ! Multiple coats needed for a great finish

Sorry to hear that about your dog! I wouldn't use wax as a filler for damage. It may help out to buff out minor scratches. I've only used it on furniture with fresh paint.

That would be - and not be - nonsense. Have used it "straight" on solid teak furniture. No problems. However, if you want it to penetrate even further for some reason, you might consider using some turpentine, etc., as a "diluent." But that would depend on the viscosity of the oil, not the "density" of the teak. Other Answers are OK - depends on whether you need deep penetration for some reason or not.
