I purchased a used ipe outdoor dining set.
The previous owner used watco teak oil and it was very dark.
After much research and discussions with a Penofin, here is what I did.
1. Stripped and scrubbed off old paint with Benjamin moore revive
2. Penofin cleaner and scrub
3. Penofin brightener.
4. Let dry 1 week and applied penofin hardwood oil.
All followed as directed, oil was backwiped after 20 minutes etc.
Shortly after applying oil, same day, I noticed a yellow, almost sawdust like residue on the surface.
Waited a good week or so
I cleaned it, sanded with 80 grit, machine and hand, and then brightened again.
I did not reapply oil yet as the residue is there still.
Not sure what to do next. Anyone have any similar experience?
