Default Le Tonkinois on Teak: Experiences? Any good?

Depends on the meaning of "enough".

The "teak oil" at the chandler's is just 1 part linseed oil to 4 parts
mineral spirits, in a fancy package. Why not apply it full strength?


Do you think 'thinning' or 'cutting' it with mineral spirits helps it
penetrate the wood?
