What Customers Are Saying

The product provides a rich, beautiful finish that effectively seals and protects the wood, revealing the natural grain. However, the color and appearance can be inconsistent, with some customers reporting undesirable bright orange or reddish hues instead of the expected teak or semi-transparent shades. The product is easy to apply but has strong fumes during use, and the consumption rate may be higher than expected on certain wood types. Overall, the quality and consistency of this product appear to be variable, so thorough testing is recommended before a larger application.

Wood prep is key!

Would Recommend

I bought one gallon of this last year and never got around to using it until now. I pressure washed one side of my fence and not the other. I also experimented with application methods. A hand pump pressure sprayer (Home Depot Brand 1 gallon) applied it too thick and obviously used too much product. A brush took ages. Pressure washing and using a paint sprayer have me in love with this product! Unfortunately I had to order more online because everywhere local to me is sold out.

Each type of wood will look different

I have been using the Teak oil for shutters. To get a uniform look you might have to precondition the wood. Pine and white timber woods will have s lighter color. Pressure treated lumber will be MUCH darker!! I applied with a brush and let it sit for 10 minutes before wiping off. If Iwanted a little darker, I would come back a couple hours later with a stain saturated rage and do a quick wipe. This is oil… it will take longer to dry. I oiled all parts of the shutter before assembling.

Bought this to treat a new deck with a freshly planed surface but instead of teak color I have a pumpkin deck. Followed directions, shook cans/ stirred again in bucket and the wood is standard pine. Color is not remotely as advertised.

Good Stuff

Would Recommend

Really good stuff...the best on the market as far as I'm concerned. My only criticism is the drying time is way longer than specified.

Terrible and inconsistent

Would Not Recommend

We power washed and sanded our deck. It looked great until we applied the Thompson’s clear deck seal. It turned the white pine deck orange, brown and black. Very spotty and makes the deck look worse that before we cleaned it. We followed all the instructions. The first photo is after the deck was prepped, and the second after the Thompson’s was applied. Hopefully it will wear off fast so we can apply a quality product.
