^{Is SNAPPY SEALER a sealer or an oil?}

SNAPPY SEALER is the best of both worlds. Its a sealer in an exclusive teak oil base.

What's the difference between a sealer and an oil?

Oil is a liquid, while a sealer consists of polymers which are dry.

Last year I used an expensive and exclusive teak oil on my deck. At the end of the season my deck turned dark and dirty looking and was even blotchy in places. What did I do wrong?

Probably, nothing. If you ever felt oil between your fingers you would notice that while its slippery its also sticky. Try separating your fingers if you're not sure. This adhesiveness causes dirt from the environment to remain in the oil which than saturates your deck. During rainfall, oil being a liquid washes easily out from your deck leaving the dirt behind. In places where the oil was absorbed unevenly blotches will remain where the oil has been washed out.

Is there any advantage to using oil?

Yes. Its easy to apply. Sealers, which are polymers have difficulty adhering to teak which has a fatty surface.

Is there any disadvantage to using a sealer?

Yes. They can be difficult to apply. Usually they must be applied in several steps. First the teak must be treated with a chemical which will enable the sealer to stick to the teak. Thereafter, the final treatment with the sealer can begin. Some sealers leave an unnatural and somewhat opaque appearance, others are unnaturally glossy.
