FAQs
Can I use Easy Seal Deck Protect on treated timber?
Yes, it is suitable for porous, bare, or uncoated timber, which includes most treated timber. Ensure the timber is dry before application.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying time can vary based on temperature and humidity. Generally, it is touch-dry within a few hours and fully cured within 24-48 hours. Avoid walking on the surface until fully cured.
Does it change the color of the wood?
Easy Seal Deck Protect provides a breathable, natural finish and does not significantly alter the wood's color or texture when dry.
How often should I reapply the product?
Reapplication is typically recommended every 1-2 years, depending on the level of wear and exposure to the elements. Monitor the wood's condition to determine the best time for reapplication.
Can this product be used indoors?
While designed for outdoor use, it can be used on interior bare wood surfaces that are porous. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.
What is the coverage rate?
The coverage rate is up to 18m² per 3 litres, but this can vary based on the porosity and condition of the timber.
Can I paint or varnish over this product?
Easy Seal Deck Protect is designed to provide a natural finish. Applying paint or varnish over it is not recommended and may affect adhesion.
Troubleshooting
Product not penetrating wood effectively
Ensure the wood surface is clean and completely dry. Excessive moisture in the timber can prevent proper penetration.
Slight tackiness after application
This can occur if applied too thickly or in very humid conditions. Allow additional drying time. If persistent, a light sanding might be necessary after full curing.
Uneven finish or coverage
Ensure the product is thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply evenly with a brush or roller, working the product into the grain. Avoid puddling.
Surface still feels slippery when wet
Ensure the product was applied evenly and allowed to cure fully. In some cases, a second thin coat might enhance the slip-resistant properties, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the timber surface is clean, dry, and free from any dirt, debris, mold, or existing coatings. For best results, allow timber to dry for at least 24-48 hours after cleaning.
Application: Apply using a brush, roller, or sprayer in dry conditions. Work the product into the timber, ensuring even coverage. For decking, apply one coat and allow it to penetrate. Avoid over-application. Coverage is approximately up to 18m² per 3 litres, depending on wood porosity.

Care: Reapply as needed, typically every 1-2 years, depending on exposure and wear. Clean spills immediately with water. General maintenance involves sweeping or washing the surface to keep it free of debris.
