Golden TeakShield is water-based. Does this mean that this product will dry very slowly?
Although our Golden TeakShield is water-based, it dries quickly. The polymer ingredients in TeakShield interact with the wood-fibers causing TeakShield to break down rapidly. After the first layer is applied, four hours are needed before applying a second coating. Humid climates may require a slightly longer drying time. After the second layer, 48 hours should pass before the furniture is used. Since TeakShield reacts with moisture in the air, the reaction will be completed approximately one week after application.
