Here you will find helpful answers to frequently asked questions:

1. What is the difference between an initial treatment and a care treatment?
   The initial treatment refers to the first oiling of raw, untreated, or completely sanded wood, where oil consumption is generally somewhat higher. The care treatment, also known as re-treatment, is used for re-oiling already impregnated wood surfaces. The wood pores are filled again to strengthen protection and refresh the appearance of the wood. During care treatment, the oil is used more sparingly to prevent the wood from becoming oversaturated.
   
   
2. Can I apply the oil over an unknown old coating?
   No, if the wood was previously waxed or varnished, these layers must be completely removed. The oil requires an open pore system to penetrate the wood effectively.
   
   
3. Can I use the teak pigmentation for other types of outdoor wood?
   Yes, the teak pigmentation is subtle and does not turn other types of wood into a teak tone. However, the slight pigment content provides improved UV protection.
   
   
4. When is the best time to oil outdoor wood?
   It is best to oil outdoor wood at moderate temperatures of 15-25°C. Do not oil in direct sunlight, extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions, so as not to impair the wood's optimal oil absorption:
   
   
5. How often should I re-oil?
   To prevent visual graying, it is recommended to re-oil the wood once or twice a year, depending on the weather conditions.
   
   
6. Can the coverage of the oil vary?
   Yes, the amount of oil required may vary depending on the type of wood and its absorbency. Rougher and weathered surfaces generally require more oil than smooth or less weathered surfaces. Consumption is typically between 40 and 80 g/m² per coat.
   
   
7. How can I prevent stickiness after oiling?
   After a short absorption time, remove excess oil that has not been absorbed by the wood with an oil-absorbent cloth or a discarded cotton cloth.
   
   
8. Can I re-oil without sanding?
   Yes, with untreated or already oiled wood, you can generally apply the oil directly without sanding beforehand.
   
   
9. How do I clean brushes?
   Clean brushes immediately after use with oil thinner or a special brush cleaner.
   
   
10. Are oil-soaked cloths self-igniting?
    Yes, the oil is a drying oil that reacts with oxygen in the air and generates heat. This can lead to heat buildup and spontaneous combustion in crumpled rags. It is recommended to dry oil-soaked cloths damp and spread out outdoors.
