STAR BRITE Teak Sealer - No Drip, No Splash Formula - One-Coat, Durable Protection for All Fine Woods - Perfect for Outdoor Furniture & Marine Use - Natural Light 16 OZ (087916)

I never write reviews but this stuff is great! Easy to work with, goes a long way, and makes the teak look great. Don't use anything else on your teak!

Although some reviewers say it turned their teak orange, I found that not to be the case. It does have a tint that is warm, but a pleasing look if you don’t want the silvery weathering look, or want to delay it. A quart goes a long long way if you apply it thin, with just the slightest dab on a foam brush. I still have a little left after sealing a loveseat, chair, ottoman and two side tables. The furniture in my photos are new, one month old under a pergola, and the loveseat was unboxed and assembled the day of sealing. They all look the same after sealing, whether a month of exposure or right out the box. The wood will chew up foam brushes quickly so buy a half dozen, or a brush or two per pieces of furniture. I have no comment on longevity since I just applied it but it is easy to work with, nice and thin, and I like the look. It does take a while to cure, maybe a couple full days of direct sunlight, so be patient and make sure its cured before you put cushions on it.

I have been using this sealer for about 15 years on my swim platform. I did stray away one time and try Total Baot's version (hot tip: don't) once. This looks great, and in brackish water, under cover, I get about 2 years (with two heavy coats applied after sanding) until I have to re apply. And it looks great when you are done! I have learned to trust Star Brite. They produce great products, but don't advertise very much. I guess they rely on word of mouth, like this.

**update 7/20- based on how the furniture looks now would give this 2-3 stars max.... now after a couple of months of sun the finish has taken a pretty noticable hit, no more luster, color has fade significantly .I think this needs additional sealer if you live near beach or in CA . Without you will be redoing at least every 3-4 months if you want it to look great like it did early on. ---+++After 5 years using Semco I wanted to try this. Much thicker , almost like a gel stain. Exact same color as the honey tone Semco product which I like. The key to finishing teak or any wood is prep. If you completely clean and remove all previous sealers, let the furniture fully dry than applying is very easy. Essentially wipe on, let sit a few and wipe off. Didn't cover as good as Semco which is super thin , more like a thin gel stain . Couple spots wouldn't take but that showed I didn't completely remove previous stain. Resending with 220 grit and reapplied. Prep is key! I did notice a final coat of Howard's wax gave it more depth and also covered a couple of spots I missed. My guess if you have poor results you didn't strip or properly prepare your project. Must say customer service was excellent quickly responding to my email. A quart easily covered large 3 person teak couch, 2 person love seat, 1 person chair and small end table. Still have enough left for touch up . If it lasts in Southern CA with constant sun and salt air for even on season will give this 5 stars

Really pleased with this product. The package I received said "teak sealer", not "teak oil sealer." -Amount: I treated a new dining table table and an older bench with two coats, and used 1/3 can. -Color: it's a warm teak color. Some reviewers think it's a little orange. To me it's a great teak tone. -Sealer vs oil: did a lot of research about this, as my experience with oil is not great. Used it on the bench, and it just lacks the staying power. Research says use a Sealer rather than oil, and this brand ranks high. -Prep: the prep for the new table was super easy. It sat outside four weeks (recommended in one article) before sealing. I simply wiped it down and allowed it to dry before applying. The prep for the older bench was a pain. It really did look bad in spite of having been oiled and partially protected by a screen porch all of its life. I scrubbed it with a combo of water, dish detergent, and bleach using a Dobie. And at times a plastic brush. A lot of gunk came off. After drying, sanded with medium grain paper, which removed most but not all the oil residue. Then wiped it with a wet rag several times. I did not use the multiple prep products that Starbrite sells. -Application - this is the easy part. This product goes on super easy. It is not as drippy as oil. You need to apply it outside to have the UV rays. Lay a tarp below to protect your deck or patio, have a clean rag handy and apply with a sponge brush. Dip brush just 1/4 inch or so. Apply with even strokes, stopping at seams. Go back after several minutes wiping/buffing with your rag - very important. Beautiful! -Duration: time will tell whether this will be more lasting and durable than oil. Research says it will. Fingers crossed!

Applied their teak wash, sanded lightly all over 220 grit, and finished with a 3M ultrafine scotch-brite pad and then a wipe with paint thinner- stuff kept coming off which I suspect could make for a cloudy appearance. Very thick material which is fine because it did not run at all or drop a single drop on the patio! Brushes out really well and easy to wipe small blobs with a rag. I applied a relatively thin coat and got a beautiful, deep finish with no shine and the appearance of the grain is outstanding. A little goes a long ways. I suspect since it was a light coat, I may have to reapply toward the fall but it is just perfect now. NOTE-- very slow to dry, keep it in sunshine, flip the furniture over and rotate.

Wears like iron. Second season on heavily sun lit bench in southern WI and barely any fading/wear. You don’t get the glossy shine of an oil finish; but the lower maintenance is certainly a good trade off

I've ordered this product many times...that tells you its a great product. We use it for our teak dec table and chairs, which are 13yrs old. The table and chairs had been previously treated with a terrible product that id nothing! I love this teak sealer because it covers nicely and the colours are lovely, but mostly because it does not chip or flake off with age. It simply fades away with time and weather. We store the table and chairs in an unheated shed over the winter of -25 to -30°C temps. The table and chairs can go 2 years between applications of this product, which is a Godsend because other products desperately need reapplication every year. Our summer temps reach +30°C so the teak sealer does get tested regularly. We have recommended this product to friends in the North who are also looking for a great outdoor furniture sealer.

Great finish.

Easy to install looks great lots of compliments on looks on boat now how long will it last

I used this product to seal the boat wood platform, and after 3 months, it is still the perfect color and it is still protecting the wood. Before using this product, the other seal was gone after 1 or 2 months, this one will be at least good for the whole season 4-5 months. My boat is always in the water.
