FAQs
How many coats of Palace Fenceguard are recommended?
Typically, one to two coats are sufficient. Apply a second coat if the timber is very absorbent or for enhanced protection, ensuring adequate drying time between coats.
What is the drying time for Palace Fenceguard?
Drying time varies depending on temperature and humidity. Generally, it takes 2-4 hours for the surface to be dry to the touch and ready for a second coat.
Can I use this on smooth planed wood?
While it is best suited for rough-sawn timbers, it can be used on smooth wood if the surface is lightly abraded first to provide a key for the treatment to adhere to.
How long does the protection last?
The protection typically lasts between 1 to 3 years, depending on environmental exposure. Regular inspection and reapplication will maintain optimal performance.
Can Palace Fenceguard be painted or varnished over?
It is not recommended to paint or varnish over Palace Fenceguard. It is designed to be a finish coat in itself. If you wish to apply another coating, ensure compatibility and test in an inconspicuous area first.
What should I do if I get Fenceguard on my skin?
Wash the affected area immediately with soap and water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.
Is this product suitable for decking?
No, Palace Fenceguard is specifically formulated for vertical timber structures like fences and is not recommended for use on horizontal surfaces like decking which experience more direct foot traffic and water pooling.
Troubleshooting
Product is difficult to stir or has lumps.
Stir vigorously for several minutes to ensure the product is fully mixed. If lumps persist, strain the product through a fine sieve.
Uneven color or finish after application.
Ensure the product was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Avoid applying too thickly, and ensure consistent brush strokes. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Timber is still absorbing water after treatment.
The timber may require a second coat. Ensure the first coat was fully dry before applying the second. Check that the product was applied evenly and completely covers the surface.
Surface remains tacky after drying.
This can happen in high humidity. Ensure adequate ventilation. If tackiness persists after 24 hours, a very light sanding might help, followed by a thin second coat if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation: Ensure the timber surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, and any existing loose coatings. For best results, apply to rough-sawn timber. If applying to previously treated or smooth wood, light sanding may be required to ensure adhesion.
Application: Stir the product thoroughly before use. Apply one to two coats using a brush. Allow sufficient drying time between coats, typically 2-4 hours depending on temperature and humidity. Avoid applying in wet weather or when frost is expected.
Compatibility: Palace Fenceguard is designed for outdoor timber applications. It is not recommended for use on decking, furniture, or interior wood surfaces. It is compatible with most standard exterior wood treatments, but a test patch is advisable if unsure.
Care: Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water. For maintenance, reapply a fresh coat as needed, typically every 1-3 years, depending on exposure to the elements. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost.
