Decking end grain, if left unprotected, will allow water to soak in, leading to rot and decay. Ronseal Decking End Grain Protector is highly waterproof, helping to lock out the water that can damage wooden decking.

- Allow to cure for a maximum of 4 hours, then apply a second coat
- Allow to fully dry for 24 hours after last coat has been applied before over-coating with a decking oil or stain

Great product, literally does what it says on the tin

East to apply and dries quickly
Much thinner than I expected and tends to run. Easier to clean up compared to oil based products. Only time will tell if it works.

Does exactly what it says on the tin ðŸ‘
Certainly makes a difference & stops the grain soaking up moisture. Used 4 tins of this stuff on my decking project & would definitely buy again.
