Deks Olje protects marine wood against the deteriorating effects of sun, salt, wind, and foot traffic. It is a special formulated oil for increased durability. It doesn't chip or peel like varnish and is easily maintained between seasons with soap and water cleanup. Available in QT or Gal.
Deks Olje #1 is a highly penetrating oil that leaves a rich, matte finish that saturates, seals and stabilizes wood to prevent cracking.
Deks Olje #2 is used over Deks Olje #1 to provides a hard, glossy finish that looks great on teak caprails, skylights, hatches and other wood trim.
Please see the related products on this page for suitable alternatives. When choosing an alternative solution, keep in mind that Deks Olje is unique in that it penetrates wood, rather than simply coating the surface. One alternative is to use this Old-Time Marine Oil Recipe . All of the ingredients for this recipe are available here. Others have had success using a 50/50 varnish and mineral spirits mixture.

Pros:
easy to appy, Easy To Clean
Describe Yourself:
Do-It-Yourself
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I have heard about Deks Olje for years but tried it for the first time this winter on a laminated stand-up paddle board paddle I built. I am a big beliver in penetrating finishes and tried the Deks Olje #1 and #2 (5 coats of #2)and the final result is amazing...deep thick finish unlike any oil product (tung/ Watco) I have used. I am anticipating wear and the Deks finish should be easy to touch up at the end of the season...Makes my varnish jobs look bad (whch they are.)
