FAQs

How many coats of True Gifts Superior Wood Preserver should I apply?

Typically, two or three even coats are recommended for optimal protection, ensuring good coverage. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per product instructions.

Can I apply this preserver over existing treatments?

It is best to apply to bare, untreated wood. If there is an existing finish, ensure it is completely removed and the wood is clean and dry. Applying over incompatible finishes may affect performance.

What is the drying time for this wood preserver?

Drying times can vary depending on weather conditions (temperature, humidity). Generally, it is touch-dry within a few hours, but allow at least 24-48 hours before exposing treated items to significant moisture.

Is this preserver safe for use on children's garden furniture?

While HSE-approved for general use, always check the specific product label for any warnings or precautions regarding use on items that may come into prolonged contact with children. Ensure full drying and curing before use.

How long does the protection last?

The longevity of the protection depends on environmental exposure and wear. Typically, effective protection lasts for several years, but reapplication may be needed sooner in harsh conditions or if the surface shows signs of wear.

Can I paint or varnish over the brown preserver?

While this preserver provides a natural brown finish, it is designed to be the final treatment. Painting or varnishing over it is generally not recommended as it may interfere with the preserver's performance and wood's breathability.

Troubleshooting

Preserver not penetrating wood effectively

Ensure wood is clean, dry, and not already saturated with moisture. Avoid application on very cold or humid days.

Uneven color finish

Apply a consistent number of coats and ensure even application with a brush or roller. Avoid over-application in small areas.

Wood still shows signs of mould or decay after treatment

Check if the initial wood was severely compromised before treatment. The preserver prevents further damage but may not reverse existing severe decay. Ensure thorough coverage and consider a second application.

Product is difficult to apply

Ensure the product has not been stored improperly and is within its recommended temperature range for application. Stir thoroughly before and during use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, dust, and old finishes before application. For best results, apply when the ambient temperature is between 5°C and 25°C, and avoid application during rain or if rain is expected within 24-48 hours.

Compatibility: This preserver is suitable for all types of rough and smooth timbers, including hardwoods and softwoods, commonly used in outdoor structures. It is ideal for garden furniture, fencing, decking, sheds, and gazebos.

Care: Reapplication may be necessary every few years depending on exposure and wear, typically when water no longer beads on the surface. Clean tools immediately after use with a suitable solvent. Store the product in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition.
