it's your right to...
it's your right to disagree but you would be wrong. You might have a point if we were talking about teak oil that contained a hardener but the Scancare teak oil mentioned doesn't and will not get gummy no matter how long you leave it on. Scancare is a great product and is know by people who have been living with Danish furniture your years. I use it and know and what I like about it is that it doesn't change the furniture, you are only reintroducing the natural teak oils as opposed to adding a new oil possibly containing a hardener. I think you are talking about the teak oil that is commonly found at hardware stores that should be avoided at all costs.

It's true I have no experience
with Scan-Care products, Adam. I did go to their US site, though, and was disappointed to find scant details regarding their "teak oil" product. I do find it difficult to imagine that it is really much different than the many other "teak oil" products promising unparalleled results, however, and I'm not sure I'd want to apply any oil finish to my furniture that wouldn't start to dry overnight anyway, but you may be right. I don't know for a fact that Scan-Care Teak Oil isn't far superior.
It's not my intent to argue and I'm glad you have found a product that you regard highly enough to recommend. Perhaps I'll have an opportunity to try it some day. I'll keep an eye out.

I'm sorry if I came off argumentative and I really do appreciate your expertise. It's just that I've used scancare as well as other "teak oils" that are similar and think they are great but when they get mentioned here they are shot down but I think they are confused with something else. These teak oils do not change the integrity of the wood at all, they don't leave a residue or a film they just hydrate the wood. It's a good product and I recommend it above anything else ad more importantly, if you don't like it all you have to do is wait, you don't need to strip, sand or clean in any way because all you have done is added oil which will dry out.

No apology necessary, Adam.
But that's fascinating, what you've just said. You mean the stuff just evaporates?!
They should explain that in their promotional material, if it's so. It would bolster the notion of needing to reapply often and encourage repeat customers. I love it!

yes, it does and good for you, you make a great point about repeat costumers. Along those same lines I must buy soap for my body and dishes from time to time though I don't use it as much as my wife might prefer. I oil my furniture when it drys out, depending on the elements maybe twice a year. I do have to by teak oil often and in fact it's not the easiest to get and order quite a bit at a time. I'm sure I'm supporting some evil sinister company that feeds off of my gullibility to replenish things as needed but if you want to have quality tings you must take care of them and this is the best way to do so. I wish you the best with your furniture but I hope that you can appreciate that sometimes the best thing is the harder thing and yes, more expensive.

I highly recommend Flag Teak...
I highly recommend Flag Teak Oil. I use it on bare/stripped wood and I also use it to buff out previous finishes along with some fine steel wool.
I,m not sure where else it's available but I buy it on ebay.

snarky. It was meant in jest! Though I detest those clever little emoticons, I guess they do serve some purpose now and again.
Honestly, I find your experience with this product to be somewhat fascinating. I really will keep an eye out for it. I'd love to try it.
