Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this product suitable for smooth planed wood?
No, Johnstone's Trade Woodworks Shed & Fence Treatment is specifically formulated for above-ground rough sawn timber. Adhesion may not be optimal on smooth planed surfaces.
How many coats of this treatment are recommended?
Two coats are generally recommended for optimal protection and finish. Ensure adequate drying time between coats according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Can I use this on decking?
Yes, this product is versatile and can be used on decking, provided it is rough sawn and above ground.
How should I clean my tools after using this product?
Clean your brushes or sprayer immediately after use with water.
What is the drying time for this treatment?
The product dries quickly, but specific drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity. Refer to the product packaging for detailed drying information.
Can I apply this over existing paint or stain?
It is best to apply this treatment to bare, clean wood. If there is existing paint or stain, it may need to be removed or a patch test conducted to ensure compatibility and adhesion.
Does the black color completely hide the wood grain?
The black finish provides opaque coverage. While it aims to enhance the look, the texture of the rough sawn wood will still be apparent.
Troubleshooting
Uneven color or finish
Ensure the product was applied evenly with consistent brush strokes or sprayer settings. Stir the product thoroughly before and during application. If necessary, apply a third coat after proper drying time.
Product not adhering well
Verify the wood surface was properly prepared (clean and dry) and that it is rough sawn timber suitable for this treatment. Ensure no contaminants like grease or old finishes remain.
Surface remains wet for too long
Check environmental conditions; application in very cold or humid weather can slow drying times. Ensure a thin, even coat was applied, as thick coats can take longer to dry.
Mold or mildew reappearing
Ensure the affected area was thoroughly cleaned before application. While the product inhibits growth, extreme damp conditions may still encourage it over time. Reapply as needed following proper preparation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, dust, and existing coatings. If the surface has old paint or varnish, it may need to be stripped. For best results on rough sawn wood, lightly sand any very rough patches if desired, though it is designed to penetrate uneven surfaces.
Application: Apply using a good quality brush or a sprayer. Work the product into the wood grain for maximum penetration. Apply evenly, avoiding over-application in one spot. Two coats are typically recommended for optimal protection, allowing adequate drying time between coats as per product instructions.
Compatibility: This product is suitable for above-ground use on rough sawn timber, including sheds, fences, garden furniture, and decking. It is not recommended for use on smooth planed timber where adhesion may be compromised, nor for interior wood applications.
Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with water. Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain product integrity. Reapplication may be necessary every few years, depending on environmental exposure, to maintain optimal protection.
