No not stain, I am used to stain and poly for interior furniture and trim etc in my wood shop, but there is an oil I put on the boat ski deck that is teak oil or something that you are supposed to apply, wait 10 - 15 minutes, and then wipe off before it dries, and then do that 2 - 4 times to build it up. It specifically says on the can to not let it dry completely. His sounded similar but I don't know what he used.
