Circa 1850 Tung'n Teak Oil is a unique blend of tung oil and teak oil. Tung oil, a natural oil extracted from the nut of an oriental tree, has been used for centuries to protect and beautify wood. Teak Oil is commonly used on teak furniture and boats. Circa 1850 Tung'n Teak Oil combines the penetration of teak with the durability of tung oil. It penetrates deep into the pores of wood to strengthen the fibers of the wood while providing a low lustre, hand-rubbed finish. Circa 1850 Tung'n Teak Oil is ideal for interior and exterior wood.

Avoid working in direct sunlight or wind. Circa 1850 Tung 'n Teak Oil is only to be applied onto bare, stained, or previously oiled wood surfaces - never over any other type of finish.Use Circa 1850 Furniture Cleaner to remove dirt and polish. Wipe on a liberal amount of Tung 'n Teak Oil using a lint-free cloth. Let the oil penetrate for at least 10 minutes and then wipe off the excess with a lint-free cloth. Wipe again after 20 minutes. Let dry for 24 hours. To smooth out the surface between coats, buff lightly with Circa 1850 Finishing Pads or steel wool (0000). Apply a second coat in the same manner as the first. To obtain a finish that is a bit shinier, a third and fourth coat may be applied, always waiting 24 hours between coats. Exterior wood should be recoated at least once a year.

2013-02-11DAVE KENDRICK asked: Would this work for oak or hickory wood flooring?
+Expand Answers
2013-02-15JJSEPH P. KORUP: Dear Dave,
I use tung and teak on oak and hickory FURNITURE ... I have never used it on a floor. on the furniture I have seen excellent results .. smooth and after the second coat a light shine .. 4 coats makes my work glow. In reading the description on line ( at their website) I did not find this product reccomended for the floor as it penetrates and bonds to the wood internaly ,,, great for water protection not for wear ... If I needed to protect a floor I would suggest/use a "surface bonding" product like polyurethane or a hard surface finish like a spar varnish as both of these would hold up to foot traffic...
Hope this helps

2013-02-15ALVIN FORD: It would if you want a natural unfinished look
2013-02-15KEVIN GNEGY: Not sure it would give a durable finish for a floor.
2013-02-18JAMES SAUNDERS: I can't imagine why it would not... however it would be an expensive choice and would require multiple coats. Usually a good quality urethane would be the preference for flooring.
2012-07-29JASON DOIRON asked: Is this safe to use on Butcher Block or oak kitchen island counter top?
+Expand Answers
2012-07-29J. MICHAEL ROBERTS: I can't image that the Tung n' Teak is food safe...I wouldn't put it on our countertops (we have mahogany counters). For our counters, we use Howard Feed-n-Wax - a beeswax and orange oil polish and conditioner. I've used it for years and the counters are beautiful. Hope this helps!
2012-07-29BETSY KING: I wouldn't. I don't know what the health issues might be using it where food is but mineral oil works well for food/butcher block. Tung and teak leaves a beautiful finish. I use it on floors (pine) and every summer I coat with two or three coats. It is beautiful but I find that ammonia and citrus eat through the finish. When I get spots I just touch up with stain and then the tung and teak.
Good luck!

2012-07-29NICHOLAS OSTER: I don't think you want to use this on a surface you intend to eat off. I would stick with mineral oil for butcher block finish.
2012-07-30ALVIN FORD: I WOULD NOT THINK SO AS FOOD WILL BE DIRECTLY IN CONTACT WITH THE OIL..
2012-05-14JIM SLATTERY asked: can i put bees wax over the oil ?

2012-05-14PATRICIA SMITH: I don't know. Sorry. I don't use anything other than the oil.
2012-05-14NORMA R. CAUBLE: I would not recommend using bees wax over Tung Oil.
2012-05-14ALVIN FORD: i'm not an expert, but i would think it would be fine as soon as the oil soaks in
2012-05-15DENISE GORDON: Not sure. We refresh with a light coat of oil.
2013-02-15JJSEPH P. KORUP: I use Circa 1850 tung and teak for everything I make.. alone it leaves a nice soft shine at 2 coats and begins to really shine a 3+..... then finish with 2 thin coats of MinWax Paste Finishing Wax ... more shine and now no worries about spills... and I have 5 kids. just remember that if you want to "re-oil" you will need to remove the wax, turpentine will do that , and then a light steel wool buffing , reoil .. then reaply wax.
2011-09-07A shopper asked: Is this good for indoor teak furniture?
2011-08-12A shopper asked: What about this product for INTERIOR TEAK?

2011-08-12DARREN ELWOOD: It's pretty smelly. I bought some of the pure tung oil and it was much, much nicer.
2011-08-12LORRAINE TOTINO: the smell is pretty strong
i dont think it would be practical for indoors
2011-08-12H DALE HELLEWELL: Circa 1850 Tung 'n Teak oil product is primarily for new wood but can be used to rejuvenate and touch up itself or other finishes. Since it is oil with solvent it can be used over any type of paint but always test in an inconspicuous place first. Solvent can damage some types of finishes.
We use Circa 1850 Tung 'n Teak oil or Circa 1850 Tung oil on everything we make, from rental house kitchen cabinets to toys. These are the only finishes we use for 99% of our projects. The mix is slightly darker and makes red oak absolutely gorgeous. We use this stuff by the gallons
If your project is teak wood with an oil finish you probably would be happier with StarBright or Amazon teak oil also found on this site.
Rule of thumb. "Oil floats on water" so you can use oil over water based finishes but you cannot put water based finishes over oil.
2011-08-12COLLEEN WARNER: We used this teak oil on a very dry teak dining room table that had come from Denmark in about 1968. My husband applied about five layers of oil and, after each layer had dried, polished the wood with a very fine steel wool. The table looks wonderful. It doesn't look like brand new but the oil filled in most distressed areas from spills, water rings, etc. It made a big improvement for us and we would recommend the product for folks with a similar problem.

Great product. worked as advertised. would reccomend wearing plastic gloves - while the product smells great to me, it is sticky between the fingers if you're applying bare handed.

Comments about Circa 1850 Tung 'n Teak Oil:
Apply with small pieces of white cotton such as t-shirts.I usually only use one or two heavy coats, wiped off after about 10 minutes. (caution don't use too much on ring porous wood like oak for the first coat because it will expand the wood and weep).
I've used it on cabinets (even in rental houses), stair treads, balusters,hand rail,furniture,CNC carvings, trivets,house molding, doors, picnic tables, etc. Outdoors, somewhat protected from sun and rain the finish lasts for years.

Comments about Circa 1850 Tung 'n Teak Oil:
Used with your furniture cleaner, this product was easy to apply but a little messy. My only negative comment is when I went to remove the tape to open the container, the directions on the side came off with the tape. I taped them back on, but they are now hard to read. This also happened with the furniture cleaner.

Comments about Circa 1850 Tung 'n Teak Oil:
Goes on easy / even and looks great. Time will be the real test though - will have to see how it looks after 4 months and how often it has to be replied, etc. So far seems like a great teak product (though you don't have to put anything on teak).
