Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup (Application):
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, grime, loose paint, mold, or algae. Use a stiff brush or appropriate cleaner if necessary. For best results, allow newly treated timber (with preservative) to weather for at least 6 months before application.
- Stir Thoroughly: Before and during use, stir the protector well to ensure an even consistency and color distribution.
- Test Patch: Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first to check color and adhesion.
- Application:
- Brush: Apply generously and evenly, following the wood grain.
- Sprayer: Follow your spray gun manufacturer's instructions for thinning (if required, though Ronseal One Coat is often ready to use) and application. Ensure even coverage and avoid overspraying.
- Clean Up: Clean brushes and spray equipment immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
Compatibility:
- Wood Types: Designed specifically for rough sawn sheds and fences. While generally compatible with most external timber, its primary formulation is for these garden structures.
- Existing Treatments: Can typically be applied over previously treated shed and fence surfaces, provided the old treatment is well-adhered and clean. Always test first.
- Not Recommended For: Decking, garden furniture, or smooth planed timber, as it may not offer the same performance or finish.
Care (Maintenance & Storage):
- Re-application: For continuous protection and color, reapply every two years, or as soon as signs of wear become apparent.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean treated wood surfaces with a soft brush and water to remove dirt build-up, preserving the appearance.
- Storage: Store the 5L tub in a dry, frost-free place, out of direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is securely fastened to prevent drying out and maintain product integrity. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
