Yes, we do suggest apply every year, On sunny day, first clean with soapy water / teak cleaners, dry surface with towel, and they apply teak oil or sealant. If you like to read more information on Teak Maintenance, here is link:

I used this product on all wood surfaces on an 18' bridge several years ago and covered over with a premium water based stain. Still looks great today. I can see no reason why you couldn't apply an oil based stain over this product after it has thoroughly dried out. The preservative dries quickly with most of it absorbed into the wood and leaves a surface that doesn't appear to have any film or residue on it and should be compatible with an oil based stain in my opinion.Richard

Yes, but best to apply this when the teak furniture is new. If faded from sun, as was our kitchen table, you may need to use the 3 step package, and this is the last step.

I used a mild soap and water solution followed by a light coat of teak oil. You could also use a good quality furniture oil. I happen to have a boat and so have teak oil at hand.

We bought a cover right away, so I can't say with certainty, other than that over time and exposure, anything will be affected. It is the minimum amount of stain that could be applied, for sure. Expect to apply more stain or sealer in the future, as with anything outdoors.

No, It doesn't come with a coat of teak oil already applied. You'll want to put on one or two coats.

Likely you'll have to re-buff or reapply once a month or more, depending on how much you use the hardware, if you have greasy hands, and if you don't seal it with another wax or epoxy or something.

Depends on how often the chairs and table are used. Mine sees use on the weekends (dining room) and I try to wax them about 3 times a year. The wax is quite durable and the lack of smearing is a big plus. I feel it adds a huge amount of protection against spills. Hope that helps.

My experience is you have to leave it on the stain for a long period of time. It's not for big jobs. In my experience, you need to fill it up after every two stains. Takes a long time, so if you have a big job, you may go with one that is a direct shot of acid on the stain.

I would say an absolute minimum of 24 hours, under dry conditions. To be safe, go a few days. You want the oil-based solution to have completely evaporated and left behind only the preservative chemicals. When I used copper green, I couldn't find any information on drying time. But most penetrating oil-based solutions (like stain, or like copper green) recommend 24 hours. This web page has some useful information about staining on top of a preservative: http://www.paintpro.net/articles/pp903/pp903-wood_finishes.cfm No dog in the hunt re. that link - just thought it good information.

It doesn't mention using on Teak in the description. The ingredient list is food grade mineral oil stabilized with vitamin E, beeswax and carnauba wax! Hope this helps!

There shouldn't be a problem - to be on the safe side allow 3 days from the time you applied the stain to the time you apply the salad bowl finish - with some species of wood it can actually take that long for the stain to "bite" into the wood fibers. I haven't had a problem putting this product over stained surfaces (both oil and water based) however I do allow a 3 day set up time for the stain.

Yes,but I would wait a week or so for the oil to soak in to the teak. If the oil is not completely absorbed it will soak into your books.

You will have to reapply after each washing. All it does is repels moisture and keeps the item from staining.

I did not put any stain on mine. I put teak oil on a similar piece of furniture but not on this chaise and had no problem.

Pretreat with a scotch guard. I have not experienced any staining as of yet however, I monitor who and what are around this beautiful yet fragile upholstered chair - It's a great piece of furniture.
