I am the guy who has suffered as a result of this rubbish product.No, the timber was dry and properly prepared---sanded back to bare wood and wiped down with a damp cloth and left overnight to ensure that all moisture had dried off. After almost 40 years in the trade I figure that I know about preparation. The Blackfriar Danish Oil failed and bleached out and peeled as per photos shown inside 3 months, result of which I was €300-+ out of pocket.
To clarify, I didn't do the work. My father's been a painter/decorator for 35 years, these are his photos. I do know the wood wasn't damp & the oil is on the wood.
He was shocked & disappointed with the results from this, he's never had a problem with other brands of Danish Oil. When he spoke with the store, they said that quite a few other customers had had the same complaint.
Blackfriar denied any problem, but he wanted to warn other people this might happen to them.
I've used this a few times no with problems. Always test on a hidden piece of wood first. Your pictures look like they don't even have the oil on them?
Shit, i've just got 5 litres of the stuff for treating interior furniture. Will that be OK? Maybe you applied to damp wood - it has to be absolutely bone dry.

No support whatsoever from the Manufacturer.

@barryfgpainter Teak oil is thicker than Danish oil and perhaps better for outdoor furniture.
