Preparation
Always ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry and free from any dust, algae, fungi or moss.
- To clean decking give it a good brush with a stiff broom to remove any dirt, debris or loose wood
- Check the surface of the decking for loose screws or boards and ensure these are tightened
- If the decking has been previously stained, painted or varnished, you’ll need to strip it back to the bare wood. For previously stained decking use
- If your decking has been effected by algae, fungi or clean with
Application
Before applying stir the product thoroughly and test a small area to ensure colour and adhesion. Colours can vary dependant on surface to be treated.
- Apply with a garden broom
- Pour product into a container that is large enough to dip the garden broom in before applying product
- Scrub 1 coat evenly along the grain, avoiding overlaps
- Apply pressure when using garden broom to remove greyness from the wood and maintain an even finish
- The more pressure applied the better the final finish will be
- Recoat in 2-6 hours
- Apply only in dry conditions, above 5°C and when bad weather is not forecast
- For strong colours more coats may be needed
- Any splashes should be cleaned up immediately (whilst still wet) with water and household detergent
Note: Always follow the manufacturer instructions found on the tin.
Aftercare & Storage
To maintain your decking reapply 1 coat each year to prolong the life of the wood. Regular cleaning with a dampened cloth or brush can also prolong the life of your treated wood.
Store any remaining paint in dry conditions and protect from frost and sunlight.
