Product Information
Full details
The Cuprinol Less Mess Fence Care in Red is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to quickly and effectively colour and protect rough sawn garden wood like sheds and fences. Its key benefit is the quick-drying formula allowing for a second coat within hours and a one-coat application for convenience. A potential caveat is that it is specifically formulated for rough sawn wood, and results may vary on smoother surfaces.

FAQs
Can I use Cuprinol Less Mess Fence Care on smooth planed wood?

What is the best way to apply this product?
You can apply it using a brush or a sprayer. Ensure even application for best results.
Do I need to prepare the wood surface before application?
Yes, the wood should be clean, dry, and free from dirt, dust, and any flaking previous finishes for optimal adhesion and performance.

Troubleshooting
Uneven colour application
Ensure the product was thoroughly stirred before and during use. Apply in consistent, overlapping strokes, and ensure the wood surface is uniformly prepared and dry.
Product not drying
Check environmental conditions; high humidity or low temperatures can slow drying. Ensure a thin, even coat was applied, as thick coats take longer to dry.
Poor adhesion on certain areas
The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure all dirt, dust, mould, and previous coatings were removed before application.
Colour looks different than expected
Colour can vary based on the type of wood, its porosity, and the number of coats applied. Test on an inconspicuous area first. A second coat can deepen the colour.
