Preparation

Ensure that surfaces to be treated are clean, dry and free from dirt, debris and other surface contaminates.

Bare or New Timber

  1. If necessary, brush surfaces with a stiff brush or broom before treating to remove any loose surface matter
  2. Areas affected by mould, algae or fungi should first be treated with a suitable garden cleaner prior to application
  3. All rotten timber must be cut out and replaced
  4. Any holes, gaps or splits in the surface of the wood can be filled with Cuprinol All Purpose Wood Filler or Cuprinol Ultra Tough Wood Filler

Previously Coated Timber

Existing surface coatings such as paint or varnish must be fully removed back to bare wood before using Cuprinol Wood Preserver by sanding or using a suitable wood stripper.

Application

Always do a test area before beginning any project to check suitability and compatibility. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Do not apply if rain is likely before the product has fully dried. Stir contents of tin thoroughly before and during application to ensure a consistent finish.

  1. For best results, apply Cuprinol Wood Preservative with a suitable brush
  2. Apply a minimum of two even brush coats to give a uniform finish
  3. Apply evenly along the wood grain, avoiding splashing onto surrounding plants, brickwork, glass, PVC etc
  4. Any splashing should be cleaned up immediately (whilst still wet) with water and household detergent
  5. Excessive spillage on plants should be rinsed off immediately before drying
  6. Allow the previous coat to soak in before applying the next
  7. The preserver usually dries in 2-6 hours under normal weather conditions
  8. Where a strong colour change is desired, more coats may be required
  9. Recoat within 2-3 days of previous coat. If a longer period elapses, do a test area to ensure product is not repelled

Please Note: If using more than one can it is advisable to mix them together (after stirring thoroughly) and pouring into a larger container or finish painting in a corner before starting a new can.

Aftercare

Regular Cleaning

Surfaces treated with Cuprinol Ultimate Garden Wood Preserver can be cleaned at regular intervals with a dampened, lint-free cloth or Cuprinol Garden Furniture Cleaner.

Maintenance

If being used as a stand-alone treatment and not being over-coated, this product can be easily maintained. To maintain the surface finish and its protective properties, simply apply a fresh coat of Ultimate Garden Wood Preserver as and when required, following the Preparation and Application instructions above.

FAQ

After the drying time is there risk to aquatic life if the wood is close to a watercourse?

We would not recommend using this product in this type of environment as Cuprinol do not specify its safety. We would instead recommend using Barrettine Premier Universal Preserver as this is completely safe for plants and animals once it is dry.

Blends easy with other oak colours

I used this Golden Oak several years ago on my Palisade fence, it needed a recoat, whilst admitantly i had to sand the surface to rid the weathered dirty effect first ! . Recoat looks like new.

Used Successfully many Times

Needed more to complete all the fences this Spring and to repair wasp damage. It works for me, is easy to apply and gives more protection than the cosmetic type finishes.

Does what it says on the tin

Three coats applied to treated softwood. Very water repellent.

Easy to use.

Seems to be absorbed by the wood and hopefully protects my fence better than the cosmetic finishes of other products. Good colour finish. Time will tell.

Very good product.

Been using this preserver for a number of years now. Have not had to repaint yet! 3 coats is all it needs but you MUST do the coats within hours of each other. It has a waxy finish and will prevent even another coat of preserver going on top if you leave the time between coats too long.

Very good product have used for the last 7 years

Have used this product for a long number of years without any problems and find the water based product far better than the spirit based one.

Used it before.

Needed more to finish the fences and gates. Works for me and gives more protection than the cosmetic type finishes.

Good colour & lasts a bit longer than most fence paint.

We needed this to repaint fence already painted in this colour. The 'popular' DIY shops no longer stock Autumn Brown but Wood Finishes seem to stock so much more.

Used this product over the last 6 years for garden woodwork

Very thin wash so soaks well into the wood and takes at least two coats but is waterproof and long lasting.

Cuprinol, very good stuff

Wood preserver, does exactly what it says it does.

Mr A Jeffrey
The preserver goes on as good as the original solvent content and also the coverage is as good

When we first moved into our house 28 years ago i was delighted to see that the large garden shed had been preserved with Red Cedar, I tried to contact the makers for a small window repair, they had long gone out of business, so on my calculations the shed is over 50 years old,and still looks as good as new

Excellent stuff

Never normally leave reviews. Was majorly at my wits end to find a replacement for Butinox no.1 in Forrest Green (Jotuns seem not to do forest green in their replacement range).Took a chance on this - Boy am I surprised - perfect colour match (Spruce Green) and completely refurbishes 10 year old Butinox. 2 coats on the most weather beaten areas (N. W. Scotland exposure) . Adheres and absorbs very well . Only negative is the consistency - very watery - so mask up or protect as necessary - seriously ! However the results are spot on. Initially you think you have chosen he wrong colour , but dries to (Forest) Spruce Green. Weather beaten areas will absorb a LOT (it is Cuprinol after all - absorbed into the wood). Top tip for anyone else needing a butinox 1 replacement - try a small can first ? - worked for me.

'Loose' But Good

My husband thought it was a little 'loose' but he is well satisfied with the end result and would certainly buy it again from the same supplier.

Perfect for my summer house. Preserves the wood and brings out the best in the colour.

Easy to apply. Excellent coverage. Withstands the weather. I usually repeat the painting every two years. Yep have used this product for at least twelve years and the summer house still looks great.

This is an excellent product by Cuprinol

This is a product that lasts and lasts. Excellent on new planed wood, with a terrific final finish. just make sure preparation is good and complete all of the coats before it finally dries as this product is difficult to paint on top of when dry because of the waxes it contains. Highly recommended
