Product Details
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.
Info & Guides
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.

Repels wasps from teak bench
3 years ago
I saw an article that said that this oil repelled wasps from teakwood. The wasps apparently chew the teak and mix it with saliva to build their nests. I tried everything (insecticide, essential oils, plants that supposedly repel them - nothing worked. So I bought this oil and sanded my bench, then wiped the oil on the bench with a rag. After a few days, the wasps stopped trying to find a piece of ""raw"" teak wood, left my yard and must have found another wood source. I am not sure how often I have to apply this, but I'll probably do it every spring to be on the safe side. It's like a miracle! So pleased with the product, plus the wood looks really pretty!

Great stuff
10 years ago
Rubbing in with a rag did very well to weatherize our new outdoor glider. Rubbing it in with a cloth, as opposed to using a brush, seemed so easy, and the coverage seemed to be even throughout. We did two coats and buffed to a wonderful feeling finish. I didn't see any down-side to this - and rubbing on another coat next year seems way easier than sanding the whole thing down again to 'update' other types of finish . . .

Xactly the protection the wood needed

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.

Best finish out there.
14 years ago
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.

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.

Good product

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).

Q: We applied the product as directed. After the third thin coat started noticing pooling. Went back every 30 min to wipe the excess away during the afternoon. Noticed that over night there were some little dots left over. Tried to wipe away but nothing happened. What Do I do now?
5 years ago1 Answer
A: Just keep wiping as needed with a dry cloth - depending on the wood it can take a few days -eventually they should go away Daniel Kazer JIGdesignbuild Gray Organschi Architecture 35 Crown Street, New Haven CT 06510 www.grayorganschi.com< http://www.grayorganschi.com/>

Q: Can you put a sealer over top of the product? Like a high quality water based Varathaine?
6 years ago2 Answers
A: It seems the 1850 Tung 'n Teak Oil, wasn't the ""teak oil"" that I was expecting. It had sealing qualities. The Cetol Natural Teak varnish that I'd been using on the rails and gunwale had a reddish tint that we liked. The Tung 'n Teach Oile (seemed to be an annual sealer) had a dull brown appearance. I only used it in a few choosen places on the bow sprint and the side steps just to see how it works. Prior I'd used ""Teak Oil"" that was an oil on the decks and was pleased with the oil preservation. This was an entirely different product that I do not recommend unless you want a ""brown"" appearance instead of the richer look of teak. This 1850 Tung 'n Teak Oil was not what I had expected. I believe you'd have to sand the teak surface before using another type of sealer. And this sealer requires annual application, according to the instructions. I'm not certain what I will do with it in the future.

Q: I want to use this product on my red oak hardwood floors can I put an oil based stain in the oil to give it more colour
8 years ago1 Answer
A: You would be better off to stain the wood first, then apply the oil. If it is already finished and you are going on top of a finish you should try a sample first to see how it comes out.

Q: how do you use this product? I have followed directions (put on liberally, wait 10 minutes, wipe off, wait 24 hours) and every time comes out differently - most of the time it comes out totally dull, no shine. Other times it comes out really glossy.
8 years ago2 Answers
A: I now have half of my teak table with a bright glossy shine and the other half is absolutely dull, no sheen at all. Both applied the same way but at different times. I now have about 6 coats on the dull side. Tell me, do you wipe it off after 10 minutes like the directions advise? or do you just ensure it's not pooling and then leave it?

Q: My use is for indoor teak furniture. Is there a better Teak oil for this use ???
10 years ago2 Answers
A: I don't know if there is a better teak oil to use. I can tell you that I used it on the deck of my 1994 Chris Craft Holiday and I really liked the result. I did use two coats because the wood was bare and it was a little blotchy after the first coat. Some area's soaked up more than others.

Q: I applied a first coat on a new table. The oil is already absorbed by the wood. Do I still have to wait 24hrs before applying the 2nd coat or could I apply sooner?
12 years ago3 Answers
A: True oil finishes like Teak/Tung oil are never sticky. If the 'oil' finish is sticky it is probably thinned varnish not an oil finish. Most __quote__Tung oil finish__quote__ products do not contain any Tung oil, including Formby's. I don't always wait 24 hours but the parts are in a warm very dry room. When there is no oil residue left when I wipe my finger across the surface I apply another coat. I've never had a problem, but to be safe it is always best to follow the manufacturer's instructions.
