Teak deck chaises and folding chairs. Goes on easily, quickly, and cleanly. Recommend much patience to get to the point where it no longer soaks in. About 20 years back I soaked a home-made mesquite oyster-knife handle in this product...looks about the same now as when it dried two decades back.

We used this product on the wheelhouse of our boat for 14 years. Also on our teak picnic table. We used both D1 & D2. We highly recommend!

I have used Deks Oljie D1 since the 1970's on the white cedar interior of my Whitehall rowboat. I recently bought a new quart of this and applied it. It may look the same but it is highly toxic stuff. In the 70's this product was made with danish oil and maybe turps mix but now the Owatrol company that bought the rights to make this have changed the chemical makeup,.. Do not use it without using a seriously good respirator. The same goes for the other Owatrol product Cetol. I suspect they must use the same mix of toxic stuff in Deks Oljie D1 as they have always used in Cetol

I used this on Yellow Cedar floor boards for my gaff sloop. I found the finished product soft and easily marred, so I added several coats of spar varnish over it, I would not use it on its own as a finish in traffic areas.

This is my 5th. time I purchased this item in the past 20 years. I don't use much, but I use it on my swim decks and on the teak around my windshield. It's easy to use and it does not darken my teak. It keeps it natural.

Have been using Deks Ojle for decades. Love the finished color and ease of application. I know it is seasonal, but with upkeep can last a long time.

Used it on a 50 year old Bristol on floor seats and combing board.

Just bought '67 36' Trojan The deck was in bad shape. The deck had been varnished and it was cracked and peeling and looked horrible. It took me three days to sand it all off. I had used Deks Olje on my first boat; a 1962, 30' Trojan and it came out fine and was quite durable. I did not want a shiny, slick finish in the deck and chose Deks Olje 1 as I wanted something to penetrate into the wood and to protect. I have one coat on it now and the people on my dock have commented positively on the way it looks. I am quite satisfied as to how it has turned out and plan on putting one or two more coats down.

Major disappointment. I have used Deks Olje D1 on several different projects from outdoor teak furniture to teak toe rails and seats to an ipe outdoor shower and been less than pleased with any of the results. I've been painting, varnishing, refinishing, and working with wood for 30 years and know the importance of following manufacturers' instructions, so my prep and application aren't the issue. Deks goes on looking amazing. Once dry it looks nice. Once it has weathered a few months some of the wood has faded, mildew is growing in the wood seemingly beneath the sealer, and, in the case of ipe, much of the sealer has vanished and there is algae and mildew growing. Deks says to simply wash the grayed wood with their cleaner and reapply D1. No sanding needed. Great, now I had clean, gray teak with mildew spots that I then had to pressure wash and sand back to new wood before re-sealing (see pic of table top). Based on all the glowing reviews I want to like this product, but it has done nothing but disappoint me and my clients. Is topping D1 with a couple coats of D1 and D2 mixed 50/50 the answer? Is adding 12 coats of D2 at 12 hour intervals the answer? I hesitate to invest nearly $100 in a can of D2 and hours of labor to find out.

I made a video of the application of this product on youtube "" successful exterior door varnish"". I recommend this product with an example standing 18 years
