Wood sealant opinions?

[JeremyNG25]

Hey I live in South Florida where it’s very hot and humid and I bought teak Furniture that had a few dings on it. Does any one have any recommendations for a wood sealant? I don’t want the wood to mold and rot. Thanks

I would use a teak oil on it. Before that, I would turn it upside down and epoxy all of the feet to seal them up good so they don't wick water up into the wood. Do this by thinning down the epoxy with acetone so it soaks in good. You can use epoxy on the whole furniture and then give it a coat of spar varnish for UV protection and not have to reapply like you would with oil or sealer but it's more expensive initially that way.
