I just got a new bench for my garden that is made of teak. The care instructions say to apply a coat of linseed oil. I bought a small bottle of "refined Linseed Oil" at our local craft store. It was in the area with oil painting supplies. Is this the proper type of linseed oil for this furniture? There was another type there that said "Cold Pressed" and my mother asked if it was "raw Linseed Oil" which it is not, but the care instructions did not specify. I want to keep the beautiful golden color of the wood and not let it fade to gray. All my googling just says linseed, not what type of linseed. There is also mention of a lot of other types of protection. The care instructions also said I could protect it with a twice a year application of a hardwood sealer. I don't want to mess up the finish! Anyone with teak furniture know what I should do?
Thanks
