FAQs

Can I use Cuprinol 5 Year Ducksback on my garden furniture?

No, this product is specifically formulated for exterior fences and sheds. For garden furniture, we recommend using products designed for that purpose, as they often require different properties for wear resistance and contact.

How long does it take for the treatment to be rainproof?

The treatment typically dries within 2 to 4 hours. It's best to allow it to dry completely before it's exposed to rain to ensure proper adhesion and protection.

Do I need to apply a primer before using this treatment?

No, a separate primer is not usually required for this product when applied to bare wood. Just ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose material.

How many coats should I apply?

For best results and to achieve the full 5 years of protection, we recommend applying two coats. Allow 2-4 hours drying time between coats.

What is the coverage rate of this 9L tin?

The average coverage is up to 5 square meters per litre. Therefore, a 9L tin should cover approximately 45 square meters with one coat, depending on the wood's porosity.

Can I apply this over existing paint or stain?

It's best applied to bare or previously treated wood that is in good condition. If applying over existing paint or stain, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and any loose or flaking material is removed. A test patch is always recommended to ensure compatibility and desired finish.

Troubleshooting

Uneven or patchy finish.

Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free of loose material before application. Stir the product thoroughly before and during use. Apply evenly along the grain, avoiding thick patches.

Treatment not drying within 4 hours.

Check the ambient temperature and humidity; drying times can be extended in colder or damp conditions. Ensure the coats applied are not too thick. Good ventilation also aids drying.

Color appears different from expectation.

The final color can vary slightly depending on the original wood type, its porosity, and previous treatments. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Ensure the product was thoroughly stirred.

Flaking or peeling after application.

This often occurs due to poor surface preparation or application to damp wood. Ensure wood is clean, dry, and sound before treating. Remove any loose material from previous coatings.

Care & Maintenance
