Coverage can vary depending on the wood's porosity and application method, but typically 2.5L covers approximately 10-15 square meters for two coats.
No, existing sealants or finishes must be completely removed and the wood prepared (lightly sanded) before applying this stain for optimal adhesion and performance.
The Gun Metal shade provides a sophisticated, mid-to-dark grey finish. It's recommended to test on a small area to see how the color appears on your specific wood.
The anti-slip properties are integrated into the finish and should last for the lifespan of the coating. Regular cleaning will help maintain its effectiveness.
Unopened, the product typically has a shelf life of 2 years when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
This product is specifically formulated for exterior decking and outdoor timber. It is not recommended for interior use.
For routine cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or power washers, as they can damage the finish.
Ensure the stain was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Check for excessive application or pooling of the product and spread it evenly. Ensure previous finishes were completely removed.
Verify that the application temperature was within the recommended range (5°C-25°C) and that humidity levels were not excessively high. Ensure adequate ventilation. Check that the product has not expired.
The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and free from dust and previous finishes. Light sanding is crucial for adhesion. Reapply after proper preparation.
A second coat may be required, or the existing coat may be worn. Ensure the product was applied evenly and the correct number of coats were used. Reapply if necessary.
Preparation is Key: Ensure your decking surface is thoroughly clean, dry, and free from any dirt, dust, grease, or previous finishes. For new wood, a light sanding is recommended. For old wood, clean off any algae or mildew and sand lightly. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Application: Stir the stain thoroughly before and during use. Apply evenly using a good quality brush or roller, working in the direction of the wood grain. Avoid applying in direct sunlight or when the temperature is below 5°C or above 25°C. Apply two coats for best results, allowing adequate drying time between coats.
Compatibility: This product is designed for use on all types of timber decking. It is not recommended for use on garden furniture or smooth, non-porous surfaces.
Care: To maintain the finish, clean the deck periodically with water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing. Reapplication may be necessary every 1-3 years depending on wear and exposure, typically before the onset of winter.
