do you need to treat the wood with anything before putting it in a spot where it will get wet?

I treated mine with Mineral Oil and it's stood many, many showers & still looks brand new!

With teak wood it is already waterproof I bought the teak bench and put it in the shower as is no problem, if you put it outside the sun will bleach it out some teak wood Polish puts it right back in shape

Only if you don't want the bench to turn a soft graying color which this type of wood does after a while as part of the natural process when it is regularly exposed to water. If you want it to hold the blonde coloring at its best you need to treat it with teak oil every now and again. This is a great bench by the way. I have had for several months. The quality is excellent!

No, using wood as water toys can cause several different issues. First of all, the water may damage the paint over time. Second, moisture can cause the wood grain to swell and eventually result in splinters. And lastly, wood can grow mold and mildew when exposed to excessive moisture or soaked. Depending on the type of wood some varieties do hold up better (longer) to moisture exposure (quick drying hard woods with antibacterial properties) but that would not be these.

My experience has been that the polish sinks into the wood and does not cause a buildup. It depends on the finish of the wood. If its been varnished or has a clear coat hardener I wouldn't use this product.

No primer required on solid wood. If wood is softer you probably need to apply a hardner prior to filling.

Not sure what you're asking here. Just follow the directions on the container. Basically, spread a generous amount of cream carefully over the entire work surface and let it stand for several hours to give it a chance to be absorbed into the wood. When the absorption is finished, wipe off the excess. Repeat whenever the wood appears to be drying out.

All of the wood should be treated. Then let it sit 24-48 hours and you're in business!! Love this stuff...

Yes.We recommend using LiquidWood first, then fasten clean/dry wood with fasteners, saturate with more LiquidWood and then finish with with adequate thickness of WoodEpox.

The wood is unfinished. You'd probably want to put a protective coating on it if it was going to be somewhere damp. It's a good, solid piece of furniture.

The instructions say to coat all wood. We used mineral oil (which is safe for humans) to coat all the wood pieces. It seemed to work okay at the time.

All wooden boards, and utencils, should be cleaned before initial use. Use a mild dish soap and make sure that the board does not absorb too much water as it may warp. After the initial cleaning, the board should be oiled to keep the wood from drying out, cracking, and warping. How often to oil is dependent upon how often it is used. I have never heard of a board being oiled too much. It may not always need it, though. The oil also helps food matter from being trapped in the wood, making the board unsanitary. Cleaning by using flour and scraping is good, but if you are worried about the board being sanitary, you should wash it, let it dry completely, and oil when necessary.

You may want to protect the wood with some wood oil, wax, or water repellant. I used teak oil when I got my bench and kept it outside all summer. I brought it inside in the winter - it gets very cold here and we have lots of snow in MN.

Pressure treated wood should be treated throughout. I would not treat it again. Is there more to your situation that you are not telling us?

if you visit the web site it will explain what the limits are... and how it may respond to conditions you mention... if the wood is bare and absorbent you can spray it with the life time treatment and forget about it. leave it bare. I have a deck made of rough cut 2x4s untreated that is going on 8 yrs old. all I did was to get the surfaces of the boards wet with the treatment... and so far its great... the sales person I talked to related to me that the treatment merely changes the Ph of the wood

We did not use a protectant at first but then thought it would be a good idea. We used a Teak Oil which can be used on the eucalyptus wood.

It is recommended. I normally wipe it down with mineral oil to prevent the wood from drying out. Mine is stored in a closet and brought out when needed.

Yes, if you are going to refinish anyway, this product won't harm the wood. Just lightly sand the surface, and this product will provide a temporary fix and protect the surface.

Teak wood is not affected by water. However, don't leave anything metal on it, such as a razor, as it will leave marks when it gets wet.
