Product Information

Full details

The Blackfriar Green Exterior Wood Protector Gold Star is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to protect and preserve their exterior wood surfaces from harsh weather conditions. Its key benefit is providing long-lasting defense against weathering, UV rays, and biological degradation, extending the life of your wood. A potential caveat is that some tins may exhibit minor surface rust due to warehouse conditions, though the paint itself remains unaffected. This solvent-based protector offers UV protection, water repellency, and resistance to extreme temperatures for both rough sawn and smooth timber.

Troubleshooting

Surface rust on tin

This is a cosmetic issue due to warehouse conditions and does not affect the paint quality. The product is safe to use.

Uneven finish after application

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and free of contaminants. Apply thin, even coats and avoid over-brushing. Ensure consistent application technique.

Product appears too thin

This is a minimal build formula designed for penetration. Ensure two coats are applied for adequate protection and color depth.

Wood still showing signs of weathering

Check the application date. Reapplication may be needed if the protection period has passed or if the wood is in a particularly harsh environment. Ensure proper coverage during the last application.
