Yeah, really good stuff might have lasted him 13 years instead of the 12
years he got from "garbage."

My son gave me a couple of slat type six foot teak benches. The
horizontal bits need finished the rest is OK. Tung oil perhaps?

Just make sure that whatever you use isn't going to rub off on
people's clothes!

Good point. Tung oil will dry to hardness as it oxidises, just like
the linseed used in so much paint.

I think he may be a troll of some kind. He's been given information on
where to buy the stuff in the US and in the UK. It's widely available,
yet he keeps insisting they are out of business. I can't find a shred
of evidence for that.

Flood would not sell Deks Ojle foruma.
I call Defender who told me the same thing.

I have given you two sources, one on each side of the Atlantic Ocean
who have it. There is also a website for deks that is copyright 2009.
That's this year, in case your calendar is out of order, too. That
website has online ordering for the product.

You wanted to know where to find it, and you have been told.

I used to use boiled linseed oil on just about everything wood.
Looks real good rubbed on a nice grain.
They say it'll darken with age, but I never had what I used it on long
enough to find out.
Used it on weathered wood before painting, but I know in some cases it
served no purpose in stopping rot.
Think I used it because I liked the smell of it, and it was a pleasure
to rub on wood and bring out the grain.
Non-waterproof coatings for outside wood is just a fetish.
Stain if needed, then use a good waterproof varnish.
Strip and redo when the varnish fails.
IMO.

I tried to reach Don for four days, no luck, I tried to call him at
Borderline International, no luck.

If you truly want to protect exterior wood, it is expensive but
straight forward.

Strip to bare wood, then apply 4-5 coats of laminating epoxy, sanding
lightly between coats.

It is absolutely essential that 100% of the wood is totally sealed.

Allow to cure for 30 days, sand lightly, then apply 2-3 coats of
marine 2 part poly to totally seal the epoxy and thus provide UV
protection of the epoxy.

Maintenance consists of maintaining the poly which protects the epoxy
base coat.
