Outdoor Defense Oil

An Outdoor Wood Finish As Natural As Where It Protects

Outdoor Defense Oil is a high-quality outdoor wood treatment to finish or refinish your outdoor projects. It’s made with 100% Pure Tung Oil, Pine Oil, and Zinc. The zinc helps to prevent mold and mildew while also offering UV protection.

Use as an outdoor wood treatment finish to protect beautiful wood grain or on concrete, stone, and any absorbent material. This also works great as a cedar garden bed oil and it provides decking protection.

Generally, 3 to 5 coats give moderate protection. More coats only if the wood will accept it. The Outdoor Defense Oil does not build up on the surface but absorbs deep into the wood pores. This food contact-safe oil leaves a natural texture on the wood surface. Will provide a matte finish. Ready to be used right from the bottle!

Coverage

• 16 oz. (pint): 50 square feet per coat
• 32 oz. (quart): 100 square feet per coat
• 128 oz. (gallon): 400 square feet per coat

Coverage varies with wood species, age, porosity, and the protection needed. Plan for multiple coats, generally 3 to 5, until the surface is saturated.

How to Apply

Shake well before use. Apply above 50°F (10°C) to a clean, porous surface free of dust, debris, and grime. Avoid wood conditioner and finishes that seal the surface and prevent absorption. Very dense woods may require additional thinning.

Apply a generous coat with a brush, rag, roller, or pump sprayer. Let the oil absorb for up to 40 minutes, then apply another coat. Repeat until the surface no longer absorbs oil. Remove all puddling or excess oil with a clean rag. Let the application rest overnight, then apply one or two more coats the following day using the same method.

Important: Hang oil-soaked rags outdoors to dry. DO NOT pile the rags or put them in a container.

Curing and Outdoor Conditions

Outdoor Defense Oil can take up to 30 days to cure completely. Cure in a warm, well-ventilated area and avoid covering the surface with objects that block airflow. During the first 7–15 days, keep the surface clean and avoid puddled liquids. Remove any oil that seeps back to the surface with a rag.

Do not apply in direct sunlight. Choose a period with temperatures above freezing for at least two weeks during curing, and try to apply when rain is not forecast for a week or two.
