Non-toxic blend of tung oil, pine oil and zinc seals and protects decks, Adirondack chairs, fences, raised garden beds and more—an easy to apply, maintain and repair exterior finish.
Formulated with pure tung oil, pine oil and zinc, Outdoor Defense Oil offers compelling value for exterior wood finishing. Firstly, its natural ingredients provide excellent protection against the elements including UV rays, moisture and temperature fluctuations. This helps to prevent wood from warping, cracking and deteriorating over time. Secondly, the inclusion of pine oil helps reduce the viscosity of the tung oil, allowing for better absorption deep into the wood as well as adding a pleasant scent that acts as a natural insect repellent. Additionally, the zinc content provides added resistance against mold, mildew and fungal growth. Outdoor Defense Oil penetrates deeply into the wood fibers, offering superior durability and long-lasting results. It is easy to apply, allowing for convenient and efficient coverage on large outdoor surfaces. Perfect for use on decks, raised garden beds, Adirondack chairs, porch swings and more. Three to five coats provide moderate protection from the elements. Apply six coats for maximum protection.

Do not use Outdoor Defense Oil over oil-based sealers, stains and finishes. RMP Finishes recommends using a water-based stain to change the color of wood, if desired, before Outdoor Defense Oil is applied. Outdoor Defense Oil will not blend with eco-friendly ''green'' thinners that contain water.
