DECK OIL 2.5 LITER CLEAR MERCOLA
DECK OIL is the ultimate way to enhance and protect garden and marine teak decks as well as exterior wooden constructions. Based on the traditional Scandinavian formula of linseed, tung and fish oils provides longer lasting protection than traditional Teak Oil. It penetrates deep into the wood to replace natural oils and resins lost through weathering. It has a lightly tinted appearance that brings out the natural colour of the wood and enhances the grain pattern. DECK OIL is a water repellent formulation and contains UV absorbing pigments so decks are protected in all types of weather.
