To ensure optimal performance and lasting results, follow these instructions for setting up, compatibility, and care of Ronseal Fence Life Plus:\n\n### Setup & Application\n1. Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean and free from loose dirt, flaking paint, or previous treatments if they are unsound. New wood should be clean. If applying to damp wood, ensure it's not dripping wet.\n2. Stirring: Stir the contents thoroughly before and periodically during use to ensure consistent color and performance.\n3. Application Method:\n * Brush: Apply liberally with a good quality brush, working the product into the wood grain. For best results and even coverage, apply in the direction of the grain.\n * Spray: If using a spray gun, follow the sprayer manufacturer's instructions for thinning (if required, though typically not for Ronseal Fence Life Plus) and application. Ensure even coverage and avoid overspray.\n4. Coats: For optimal protection and color depth, apply at least two coats. Allow approximately four hours for each coat to dry before applying the next.\n5. Drying Time: The treated surface will be showerproof within one hour. Full drying takes approximately four hours per coat. Avoid contact with the treated surface during this time.\n\n### Compatibility\n* Wood Types: Suitable for use on all rough sawn and smooth timber fences and sheds.\n* Existing Treatments: Can be applied over previously treated wood, provided the old treatment is sound and not flaking. For best results and color consistency, it's recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first.\n\n### Care & Maintenance\n* Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes and spray equipment immediately after use with warm, soapy water.\n* Storage: Store any unused product in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost.\n* Longevity: The product provides 5 years of protection. Inspect your fences and sheds annually and reapply if signs of wear or fading appear after this period to maintain optimal protection.\n* Safety: Once dry, the treated surface is safe to be around pets and plants. During application, keep pets and children away from the working area.
