One of the comments mentioned the color "brown" Is this mostly clear or does the darken the wood too much? I will uses this on raw wood.

I use Teak Oil on natural teak. The wood gets a whitish patina when left untreated with oil. The oil seems to cover or remove the patina, allowing the natural color to show. If you don't like the appearance (I do) all you have to do is wait until the oil washes off and the wood will have the same appearance as before.

What's the differnce between this brand and the wadco brand for half the price?

I used both Watco and Star Brite on a set of 4 hairs teak chairs that were very weathered. I cleaned them all with the Star Brite clieaner first, which did a great job. My goal with the teak oil was to replace the natural oil that had leached out over the years. Without that oil, the wood absorbed rain water and was starting to split from the wet dry cycles. The Star Brit is thinner and really soaked in. 1 quart gave me 2 coats on one chair and a start on a second chair. My wife then got the Watco, so I used it on the rest of the chairs. Its much thicker and doesn't soak in nearly as much. One quart id 3 chairs. It colors the wood a lot more, which I didn't want. I wish I had used only Star Brite. It does a better job of penetrating deeply into the wood and truly reconditioning it. The Watco is more of a surface finish, giving quick, superficially pretty results. I don't think its nearly as good for rejuvenating severely weathered, dried wood. May it'g work best for preserving newer teak, but I wouldn't recommend it on old teak.

How much product do you typically use for let's say a large outdoor dining table? I'm oiling my outdoor furniture for the first time. Thanks!

I am in the process of redoing a 5 piece dinning set. It's 4 chairs and a table. I ran out of both the oil and the cleaner/brightener. If yours is as large as mine I recommend using the 32oz or even larger. Could even get the gallon size for the oil if you need more than one coat like my set does.

How often do you have to reapply? I have a teak shower seat and use another product but it seems to only last about a week...

You reapply as needed and as you so fit with the appearance of the teak. If you are going to do a shower seat then you will want to let it cure outside before going back in the shower.
