hard wood garden furniture…treatment??
i recently bought a beech coloured hard wood set of patio furniture…it was expensive but i bought it as i liked the colour of the wood.
my husband (when i was out) treated it with ‘teak oil’..and it has completely changed the colour…and i now hate it…so as you can imagine..we exchanged a few words!
my husband said it is the correct treatment for the wood…and it has to be treated. anybody know if this is true… are you supposed to coat outdoor wood in teak oil?? thank you for any serious answers.
p.s. he told me to ask on Yahoo…to prove he is right!!
As a member of his gender, I am sorry to say he is WRONG!
TEAK oil is a darker colour than beech wood, hence it will obviously darken the colour of “beech coloured hardwood”.
To best retain the appearance of light coloured woods, I recommend a clear water-based exterior varnish. There are many brands on the market these days, your local hardware store will advise. Oils are good for wood, but they generally darken the colour initially, with the added disadvantage of not sealing the wood from staining by just about anything else. Try washing it off with caustic soda and bleaching it to get the original colour back. (Well, let him do it to retrieve the relationship. hehehe)
