Davu or DD.
On subject of wood finishing. Is Danish Oil and/or Tung oil available here??

[DeputyDavid]

I haven't looked for it specifically but I don't remember ever seeing it.

[davureborn]

Good question, he, he, I am still using the teak oil I naively bought when I first came here!. There are other tins that don't have teak oil written on them though...

I have bought Teak oil in Global House in Surin, so probably also available in the Buriram branch.
Mr Pichai may also have it at Ruangsangthia.

[Freddy]

Yep, teak oil is everywhere. Danish and/or Tung oil not quite so easy here. May have found a company in Bangkok that makes thee own Tung oil. Will let you know.

[DeputyDavid]

Yes Ruangsangthai now carries TOA brand teak oil and it is a couple hundred baht less than in the other store.

[Pichai]

The TOA Teak oil I now stock is a direct result of a Buriram Expat request and payment at the time of order for the Teak oil which I had not previously carried on the shelf. This higher quality Teak Oil has proven to be a top seller in July 2017 at my Builders Merchants Store. The photo was taken today near the Solar PV Panel display at the front door of Ruangsangthai. Solar panels, inverters and DC well water pumps are a direct result of expats placing orders for items they were willing and able to pay in advance when placing a special order. I will continue to expand the selection of home building materials as expats place orders for items that are on the ground in Thailand. Thank you for your support. Mr. Pichai.

What is the price per gallon (5 litres).

[Pichai]

Freddy: I sell the TOA Teak Oil as in the above photo for 1060 baht. List price printed on the can is much higher. I believe Buriram Home Pro sells this fine TOA Paint product for a 21% higher price. What only Ruangsangthia stocks are the genuine Honda quiet EU 20i and Honda EU10i Inverter power generators in Buriram province. Thank you for your support. Mr. Pichai.

Sorry but I get Shark brand teak oil for around 300 per gallon at Thai Watsadu.  Don't know what is in it but it works OK for me.  They also sell TOA and other brands at the 1000 (plus) baht price range.

I'm a big fan of RST but I would have remembered paying over ฿1000 for a can of oil. I also bought at the same price at the same place, Thaiwatsadu.
Just goes to show that "Teak Oil" probably doesn't mean anything definite.
I now believe that the 'orangy tint' on much Thai furniture comes from using Tung oil. The manufacturers like to call it a golden tint.

[DeputyDavid]

Yes you can get shark brand much cheaper and I use it for the first couple coats between sanding. Final coat is TOA mixed with chandrite. I suggest comparing the content label of each.

[DeputyDavid]

You can get teak oil with chandrite in it which works well. Thaiwatsado.

Teak oil is overrated and over priced, also it isn't somehow made from the teak tree. Professionals will use Tung oil or even linseed oil. Application isn't just a matter of splashing it on with a brush, it is or should be a two or three step job. AND. Real, good quality teak wood doesn't really need protection although there's nothing actually wrong with using a Chaindrite product I suppose.

Davu you are correct. After reading the label I noted that if your hardwood is not properly rubbed you will not get the desired effect.

"Teak oil" gives plenty of results on YouTube.
