ORGANOIL P/L is a Byron Bay, Australia based company specialising in Plant Oil Technology timber preservatives/finishes since the mid-1980’s.
Let’s get to the bottomline: The harsh exposure and movement stresses on marine-utilised timbers certifies the use of high oil-content species. Teak is such, though it’s own oils are not both resinous andantiseptic, like those embedded in the renowned Huon/Pitch pines. Teak (and others) is open-grained, left exposed and untreated (and/or ignorantly scrubbed with acids and chlorines), will lose the oils/nutrients that are the essence of it’s integrity. The Endeavour® system delivers the resinous, self-drying tree nut oil Tung, the inherent antiseptic nature of Clove/Eucalypt, the water-proofing properties of Bees Wax, and all driven into your timber with the highly-penetrative and embalming oils from Gum, Pine, and Citrus. Unlike most generic “teak oils” Endeavour® products contain no linseed oils, petro-chemical driers or synthetic resins.
There are no free rides though; weigh in with a bit of attention and effort.
