Product Description

There is a shortage of metal cans, so some products may come in a plastic gallon jug, rather than metal containers

The oil in this product contains twice the oil of other brands due to UV stabilizers, mildew inhibiting agents, and blandew prevention agents

If you plan to use outdoor oil for wood projects outdoors, particularly for wood furniture, you should apply it to all wood exteriors

On pressure-treated wood, it can be applied by itself, over any stain, and in conjunction with any color. Exotic woods can be difficult to lubricate with Outdoor Oil because of their oil content

Questions & Answers

Does anyone have experience using this on cedar shake siding? Does the house need to be dipped in a vat before being fixed?

I really like what you've written! Cedar is the material we used to build the pregula on our deck. A brush was used after he completed the construction of the model. It can be applied to shingles but brushing or spraying is the right way to do it. There would be a lot of waste if we dipped each shingle.

It was manufactured by The Manufacturing Company. It was stated on the site that the can is shelf-life and has a one-year shelf life. Can you let me know what the remaining shelf life will be if I order?

I have used it for almost a year and it seems to work fine

Do you think this will make the grains pop on a live edge Acacia ?

A medium sheen can be achieved with this product, which absorbs into the grain.

Would this be suitable for using as a finish on an unfinished mahogany door?

The key is to not finish it at all as it will deteriorate. Nevertheless, I would test it first since it says it won't work on some exotic woods in the product information. Mahogany might fall into that category, but I'm not sure.

This bench appears to be brand new! Six months have passed since it was last in the garage It is seven years old

5/5

General Finishes Outdoor oil was tried to see if it would improve its appearance. In any case, you can clearly see how it does a real "makeover" and looks like a whole In addition to being great looking, it looks great in my backyard. As soon as I put it in my yard, it changed its appearance The look was tested twice to see whether it was better or not. This can be tried once because it shows right away how much better it looks. This was my first attempt, and I am glad I did. I appreciate it.

You're the best! Two Adirondack chairs and matching footstools were made, and four coats of General Finishes Outdoor Oil were applied

5/5

A foam brush is used for the first coat to ensure good coverage. After that, a cotton cloth soaked in the finish is used for the subsequent coats. I found the application to be very easy and the finished product to be This is very good coverage, as I used about 12 gallons per chair and foot stool. We most likely will have to reapply a coat or two in a few years, but as the chairs are not exposed to harsh weather and sit on a patio out back, I am anticipating that the finish will last for.

The outdoor finish is excellent! Simple to apply and does an excellent job of protecting wood, this finish is a great choice

5/5

As far as I am concerned, it dries without taking long to dry, and it wipes off so the coats go on smoothly. I used it to make outdoor furniture, and I am extremely pleased with the finish. I would highly recommend this for making.

This is a very good price for such a high quality product

5/5

In addition to my well pump house, deck, bird houses, and swing, I also used it on our well pump house. There is no messy mixing involved, and you can see immediately how high quality this coating is.

This item is rated five stars

5/5

It is a great product, easy to apply, and so far it is holding up to the test. Moisture beads off, no discoloration, looks great.

I highly recommend this product

5/5

It helps keep outdoor furniture and wooden structures in great condition. The chemical prevents graying, fading, and cracking of wood in the presence of heat and sunlight.

Not long lasting

3/5

Doesn't protect for a long time. it would be the perfect finish for my Adirondack chairs made of cedar. In the past twenty years, I've made over two dozen chairs and have tried every outdoor finish available to man. As far as I am concerned, I should be able to follow along- No need to sand off a hard surface finish every few years as you would have to with spar varnish, tung oil, etc. Thought it would last longer, but it only lasted one Even though I applied four times to my cedar, most of it turned gray The coats will be five. For the period between November and December, the chair was covered with a heavy tarp This month. I have used several outdoor finishes and this one has had the worst results.
