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, we recommend you 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 2-3 coats evenly and along the grain using a brush or roller
• Allow each coat to dry fully before recoating
• Apply only in dry conditions, above 5°C and when bad weather is not forecast
• For strong colours more coats may be needed
• If using more than one tin it’s advisable to mix together in a large container or finish in a corner before starting a new can to ensure consistency in colour

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. Occasional 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.
