Teak Oil was formulated for use on Teak, which is notoriously hard to finish well. Although there is very little Teak in New Zealand, there is a great deal of a similar wood – Rimu. Teak Oil also gives a great result on other common woods such as Kwila and Kauri.

Two thin coats are sufficient for most purposes on bare wood, but for kitchen worktops, floors, external doors and tables use four coats, which if applied carefully will give a water-resistant finish, even for hot cups of coffee! A coat of Briwax original wax over the top will give the Danish Oil a satin sheen, if you wish. Unlike most other wood finishes, you can restore the finish at any stage in its life by wiping down with mineral turpentine, and applying another coat of oil. This is a traditional finishing treatment for all types of wood in the home and in the workshop. Briwax is a blend of Beeswax and Carnauba waxes and gives an instant natural sheen to bare wood. It is ideal for use on wood carvings and turned wood, skirting boards and doors, and is widely used in the pine furniture industry. Now, with another shallow dish and another cloth, apply a coat of Teak Oil in exactly the same way. Just wipe it on with the cloth, and make sure you don't leave too much on the surface, to avoid any drips. Leave this first coat to dry overnight.As with any clear finish, oils do not give complete protection from the harsh rays of the New Zealand sun. For outdoor furniture use a Briwax Spirit-based Dye first to give colour and protection, and a couple of coats of Teak Oil over the top. Once you're happy with the colour, protect it with one or two coats of Briwax Danish Oil or Briwax Teak Oil. Danish Oil has a matt/satin finish, and Teak Oil gives a gloss finish. Sand between coats with very fine sandpaper or 0000 steel wool. See the section on finishing floors with Danish Oil above for more details. Due to its expert technical knowledge of the technologies and materials available across the industry, Promain has a reputation for outstanding service among its trade and retail customers.

Of course it depends on where it is used, but in general, if you cannot get a shine with a soft buffing, it is time to re-apply. In high traffic areas this can be as often as every few months. In vertical applications and low traffic areas Briwax will last for years. Note: Briwax does not contain UV inhibitors so direct sunlight will cause it to fade. Briwax is not an exterior product for this reason.Wax is not waterproof, and if spills are allowed to stay on waxed surfaces they can cause white spotting or watermarks. To remove these, just apply another coat of wax to the affected area. Applying new wax will remove the old wax and replace it with a new coat, which should remove the watermarks. However, if you allow the surface to remain wet for a long time, the watermark will get into the wood, and applying more wax won't solve this. Danish Oil gives a flat natural look to the timber. If you apply two further coats of Briwax Teak Oil over the first coat of Danish Oil, this will give you a gloss finish. This depends on the application and on the timber it is applied to, but generally 12-14 square metres per litre is the norm, although on the second and subsequent coats this can double or treble! A five litre tin of Danish Oil is normally sufficient for four coats on a floor of 30 square metres. One of the biggest advantages of Danish Oil is that it's very easy to repair the surface if it gets damaged. Wipe down the surfact with mineral turpentine and 0000 grade steel wool, and apply one more coat with a cloth. Once dry, the surface will be good as new. If the surface is more seriously damaged, sand it lightly first and apply one or two coats of Danish Oil. With very hard woods you can thin down the oils 10 to 15% with mineral turpentine to give better penetration. On Matai and Totara, apply Briwax Sanding Sealer first, which will stop the acids in the wood affecting the oil. Also use Shellac Sanding Sealer on customwood (after staining but before oiling) to prevent the oil reacting with the resins in customwood and giving off a lingering odour.

Now apply the colour. Use disposable rubber gloves when handling the Briwax Spirit-based dye, as it won't come off easily! Antique Mahogany is a favourite for Kwila furniture. Light Oak is an alternative if you like a lighter colour, but any colour will work. It's easiest to pour the dye into a shallow dish, and apply it with a cloth. The dye will be dry within 20-30 minutes. For more detailed information, see How to revive faded outdoor furniture Special notes for some applications There are many copies of Teak Oil, and many alternative oil-based finishes including the traditional linseed and tung oil based products. However, most of these products are 'wet' oils – they never harden completely. This can leave them prone to collecting dirt. Briwax Teak Oil is a hardening oil. Once dry, it is durable and waterproof.For table and bench tops, use three or four coats of Danish Oil. If the surface is well sanded and carefully finished, we've found that Danish Oil is resistant even to hot water. Many of our clients have finished commercial bar tops with Danish Oil. However, we wouldn't suggest using Danish Oil where the surface is likely to be used for cutting; sharp knives can cut through the surface into the wood, which will allow water to get into the wood at a later stage and damage the finish.

Briwax Original Wax is recommened, to give a deep and long lasting sheen. Try one of the Briwax coloured waxes to give a deeper colour. A professional appearance, improved shine and more durable finish can be obtained by sealing the wood. To achieve this, brush along the grain with Shellac Sanding Sealer before using Briwax Original wax polish. Once it's dry, rub the floor lightly with a fine sandpaper (about 320 grit), and wipe off the dust. You can apply the second coat either neat or thinned up to 50% with mineral turpentine, again making sure that you don't leave too much on the surface.
