Any damage to the FG might be in the future of the yak as the oil penetrates the lay-up. Dave - It was "Daly's SeaFin Teak Oil". I looked on the label for the ingredients, but it only said it "contains petroleum distillates". I did this about 6 months ago and haven't noticed anything yet. I just applied it with a rag, wiping it off after a few minutes. I'm getting the feeling maybe this wasn't such a good idea...
