I have several pieces of furniture, inside and out that I oil every 2 weeks. Some call for teak oil. I cannot get it to not congeal in the spray bottle. It needs to be thinned down a little, so that while it sits for the 2 weeks that I'm not using it I don't have to completely clean out the nozzle.

I used to use orange oil and now I can't find that any where except for the stupid stuff at the grocers which isn't really orange oil. The orange oil never congealed.

Any suggestions about what I can put in a spray bottle for my furniture?
Most important would be the outside furniture that I HAVE to spray. The indoor stuff I can deal with, although it is a hassel.:)

Hi, Just Dahlia!

First question that I have is, what kind of finish is already on your furniture, please?

Thanks!

Thank you Clough
It is bare. The outdoor is a wood from Vietnam similar to teak (I forgot the name)
The indoor is antique and bare just stain. I have been using orange oil on the inside for years. Teak oil on the outdoor. It's much simpler to spray.
If you can suggest another spray oil, that would be great also.

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you, I was sleeping.:)

Hi again, Just Dahlia!

Do you wish for this furniture to be really well protected or to remain bare with oil finishes?

Thanks!

It's been 15 years and I have never done anything else before, except the twice monthly oiling. Are you suggesting something else?

Was it one of these woods: Hong Hua Li wood, Pterocarpus macrocarpus, Burma padauk, Giang Huong, Dalbergia Wood From Vietnam,

I found the receipt from 1/27/08 with a phone number, but no name for the wood. I will call them tomorrow and find out. I just can't remember, the story was more interesting than the name.:)

I found it ballengerb1!
I looked up Eden out door furniture.
It is Keruing also known as Asian Mahogany. It's very pretty and requires little or no maintenance. I only have to oil it if it rains, and if I cover it during the raining season that means just once a year. Spray on wipe off. :)
