Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the decking surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, and old finishes. For best results, use a dedicated deck cleaner and brightener if necessary. Allow the wood to dry completely.
Application: Stir the decking oil thoroughly before and during use. Apply evenly using a good quality brush or a garden sprayer. For brush application, apply two coats, allowing up to 6 hours drying time between coats. For spray application, one generous coat is typically sufficient. Avoid applying in direct sunlight or when rain is forecast.
Coverage: A 2.5 litre can covers approximately 20m² with two brush coats or 20m² with one spray coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the porosity and condition of the wood.
Drying Time: Allow up to 6 hours for drying. This can be influenced by temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Ensure the surface is fully dry before allowing foot traffic.
Care: To maintain the finish, clean the deck periodically with a mild detergent and water. Reapply the oil as needed, typically every 1-2 years, depending on wear and weather exposure. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
