Product Details

Owatrol Deks Olje is a 2-step wood finishing system that is easier to apply and maintain than traditional varnish. D1 is applied first. Deks Olje D1 is a specially formulated penetrating oil that soaks deep into teak wood and other marine wood grain, producing a rich transparent matte finish. The oil helps strengthen wood against the deteriorating effects of sun, salt, wind, and foot traffic for increased durability. If you desire a matte finish similar to rubbed Tung oil, D1 is the only step necessary.

If you wish to continue to a high gloss finish, apply D2 over the D1. Deks Olje D2 is easy to apply and produces a hard, flexible gloss coating that doesn't chip or peel like varnish. Fully cured, D2 is slightly softer than traditional varnish but very easily maintained. You may blend seamless touchups to high wear areas with D2.

Info & Guides

Owatrol Deks Olje penetrates wood, rather than simply coating the surface. It has no UV inhibitors, meaning it is a true clear finish that enhances the true beauty of wood underneath. The penetrating oil naturally strengthens wood fiber and prevents weathering degradation. For best results, first clean wood with Owatrol Wood Deck Cleaner.

Matte Finish Apply D1 to new or cleaned wood. D1 may also be overcoated with any other type of varnish. D1 is the first step continuing on with D2 high gloss application.

Satin Gloss Finish After first applying D1, apply two final coats of blended D1 & D2, 50:50 mix.

High Gloss Finish After first applying D1, finish with six coats of D2.

I construct bamboo fly rods and immerse them in Deks Olje for at least a week. I believe this impregnates the bamboo giving long lasting protection.

I Have a teak bar & chairs in Florida which is on my dock that looked as if I should have trashed it . I followed the instructions on the can. It was time consuming because of it's condition to prepare but the application of the D1 & D2 was easy . Looks beautiful and the maintenance to keep it up with this product appears to be a breeze .

I use this product on all my teak wood including my swim board ... It last all season in the sun and I lightly sand each year (8 month boating season ) and put on a couple of coats and I am good for another year. It has a real high gloss that lasts... Dislikes - the container is junk .... I transfer it to paint cans made in the USA that will re-seal. Do use #1 first to prep the wood before using #2

I love this oil.My days of varnishing are over. I built a 16' wood Dory 12 years ago and this is all I use on any bright work which is floor boards, seats and rub rails. Goes on easy and fast. After awhile you won't need it every year case of build up.Great patina.This year I just wiped it lightly with a rag right out of can and ready to go.I like the satin for it goes with my boat.

We love this oil because it is easy to use and brings out great color in the wood. The Decks 2 is not as hard as a varnish coat but much easier to apply. We are leaving this in the Florida sun so it will require more maintenance. Thank you to Jamestown for shipping it so efficiently.

I have been using this product as well as the D2 and I won't go back to regular Teak Oils again. The D1 touches up well and you can over-coat it as it starts to wear. I use the D2 on my Mahogany salon doors and my mahogany window frames and they look great. I also use the D2 on my teak gunnel coverboards and a couple of hot over coats later, they look like they are still wet for weeks, the gloss is so deep!

I bought this product to refinish teak deck furniture. The product goes on easily, like water, and soaks into the wood well. It provides a nice ""gold"" color to the teak. What I do not know is how well the product will protect the wood from the sun, and how often new treatments will be required. Only time will tell.

I like to clean inside of plank surfaces with rag and mineral spirits then apply till the wood is saturated with brush. The Catskill White pine looks takes on a nice almost varnish like finish. one year I used a teak oil finish on top of the deks olje,and followed the next year with the Deks Olje. Thats 11 years of Deks Olje, the natural finsh is a beaautiful contrast with the painted thwarts.

I can say that the results were great, with the Amazon Quickie II cleaner and then applying the Deks my teak trim pieces look like new! If you want a good finish on your teak or are restoring back to new this is your product.

Redwood Table

12 years ago

I recently applied Olje to the top surfaces of a redwood table and benches at a seasonal home in northern wisconsin that had been previously stained and coated with butchers wax as a protectant. It took a lot of stripping, deck cleaning, at Dek's recommendation, and sanding below the stain. The results were well worth the time and effort. The horizontal surfaces now have a very rich, finish that shows off the redwood beautifully. I've not tested it by spilling anything on it but am convinced that it is well protected. I anticipate that after I use it for a while I'll change my review to excellent.

I have heard about Deks Olje for years but tried it for the first time this winter on a laminated stand-up paddle board paddle I built. I am a big beliver in penetrating finishes and tried the Deks Olje #1 and #2 (5 coats of #2)and the final result is amazing...deep thick finish unlike any oil product (tung/ Watco) I have used. I am anticipating wear and the Deks finish should be easy to touch up at the end of the season...Makes my varnish jobs look bad (whch they are.)

Q: Deks Olje D1 and D2 What is the recommended humidity for application?

a year ago

1 Answer

A: The tech sheets listed on the website do not mention humidity specifically but they do say ""Do not apply DEKS OLJE® D.2 in wet weather or late in the day when dew or fog may be expected. This may dull a newly set film causing it to blush - exposure to sunlight usually removes the discoloration.""

Q: I did a teak patio furniture set with Deks D1 last spring and it grew terrible mildew over the last year despite being in full sun on a patio. I had prepped the hell out of the teak as it had been left out for years with no treatment or care and was literally black. Wish I could post pics. I washed it with 2 part teak cleaner and a pressure washer, sanded it thoroughly, and applied Deks per instructions. It was so bad this spring I had to pressure wash it and sand back to clean wood. Why so much mildew? What did I do wrong?

Q: I am coating a new pine floor of 350 square feet, how much product will I need to cover it.

4 years ago

6 Answers

A: Hi Bill We love DO and have converted all the varnish on our boat to DO. It is much easier to prepare and apply – it is very forgiving, compared to how careful you have to be with varnish. The downside is we have to do a maintenance coat every 6 months – but that is out in the sun and weather. You'll have to check the specs for coverage (see attached). If it is bare wood, you will need to ""coat"" up to 9 times with DO1 – keeping it wet with oil until it stops absorbing – which we find ourselves recoating every 15-20 minutes, depending on absorptive quality of the wood. DO1 leaves a matt finish, probably not hard enough for a floor, so I would then coat with DO2 which leaves a harder gloss finish. You can get the overcoating interval between DO1 and DO2 from the specs – I think you have to leave DO1 for 3 days before coating with DO2. Then DO2 for 5-6 coats, leaving at least 24 hours between coats, but can be longer, as long as you complete DO2 within about 4 weeks. You can get DO in larger quantities – 1l, 2.5l, 20l. Hope this helps Colin Glennie

Hoping I can seal the entire box with 1 very durable product, and then paint the outside with white waterborne paint. Thanks!

A: If it hasn't been out in the weather you should be fine. The great thing about Olje is another coat sort of softens the existing coat. Even when you have d2 on top of the d1 (if you scratch the surface) you can use d1 to soften and mend the scratch. Love Deks Olje!
