| Andrew Peifer Oct 28, 2010 17:08:20 | oil stain over teak oil About 3 years ago I sanded down our large front door and finished with teak oil only. I was happy with the result. However, I would now like the door to be stained darker and am trying to figure out how to approach it. Can I simply lightly sand the door and apply a oil stain and poly finish? Do I need to strip the teak oil off somehow? If so, with what? Thanks. |
| Neil Oct 28, 2010 22:58:30 | RE: oil stain over teak oil Hi Andrew, If the teak oil you applied was actually a curing oil there should be no problem in applying stain. Did the Teak Oil leave a finish on the surface of the wood? Some products advertised as Tung Oil or Teak Oil are actually a combination of oil and varnish. If the product you used had a stain in it I bet there is also varnish in the product. What product did you use? If there is no finish on the wood proceed to wipe clean the surface with mineral spirits. Sand the wood with 180 to open up the grain. Stain. Max 2 coats. Good Luck Neil |

| James Sep 01, 2020 05:47:33 | Re: oil stain over teak oil I have just had a teak door dipped and stripped. wax has been applied. I would like it darker so can I apply stain to the door as it is or will I have to try and remove the wax? |

| Mark Jun 02, 2022 07:21:57 | Re: oil stain over teak oil You can mix oil-based stains with Circa 1850 Tung'n Teak Oil and spray it lightly onto your substrate. Test first to ensure you are obtaining the look you want. |
