TEAK CARE
PAGE 33
Teak wood is a high quality, extremely durable
wood with a high oil content. In order to help
you protect the original beauty of your teak in-
terior, we have sealed the wood with a 3 to 4
coat system of high quality Seafin Teak Oil,
manufactured by Dalys. This material is pene-
trating oil that dries to a low sheen to seal and protect the wood from moisture and weathering.
It creates a durable, nonslip surface to repel wa-
ter and resist wear. It won
’
t chip, peel or blister. It
reduces work and maintenance cost because it
is easy to repair and maintain and repair. With
proper maintenance it will outlive urethane var-
nish on interior and even exterior surfaces.
MAINTENENCE
When oiled surfaces require renewing, simply
wipe the surface area free of loose dirt, dust or
other contaminants. Dampen a cloth with the Seafin Teal Oil and wipe on. Let stand for 5-15
minutes, then polish dry. If your dinette table has
an epoxy finish, clean with furniture polish.
REPAIRS
When woodwork is damaged from scrapes or
abrasions that go into or thru the finish, take
the following steps:
1. Take 180 to 200 grit wet/dry sand paper to
smooth out rough spots.
2. Wipe clean of dust and dirt with a clean rag.
Note: before applying oil, wood surface must
be dry.
3. Wipe or brush on oil, allow to penetrate 5-15
minutes while surface is still wet.
4. Sand until smooth with 400A wet/dry sand-
paper. 5. Wipe dry with a clean rag. Allow 8-12 hours
drying time.
6. Apply second coat, sand, and repeat proce-
dure.
This procedure may be repeated as many times
as needed to bring damaged area back to its
original finish. If you have trouble with getting the
same sheen, you may use a soaked and rung
out cloth to apply a very light coat to get an even
sheen.
