Preparation

The wood surface to be treated must be clean, dry and free from dust, dirt or any other surface contaminants.

All previous coatings must be completely removed by sanding to bare wood or using a dedicated wood stripper
If necessary grey or deteriorated wood should be sanded down to a clean, sound surface
Remove any mould or algae with a suitable mould and mildew cleaner

Seems to have done the job but still early days.

Afternoon. Bought this to go under Protek Stable Coat, I did a bit of reading and thought it the best option with the timber I was treating and for longevity. If I was to do it again I'd probably call the helpline but to late now. No idea how many coats I put on, about 6 I think, I was doing one in the morning and one at night for a couple of days in the garage so it bound together. Seems pretty waterproof but time will tell. I'd get it again on initial thoughts but it covers so much I can't see me needing any for a while. Cheers. Nige T.

Very promptly and carefully delivered. Unfortunately I do not have a camera.

Too soon to know how effective it will be, but very easily applied.

Easy to apply and good quality

Exactly as needed, worked very well as a base to our paint choice.

Quality product

We got a large tin with our log cabin, but we needed a little more so I purchased the small tin, just to get the last coat of three on inside cabin. Delivery quick was really impressed and the wood preserver goes on easy. Next year when I'm re-doing the coats I will definitely buy again.

Works a treat

On bare naked wood this does exactly what you would hope and used in tandem with eco shield (Protek) it keeps your wood protected. And Low VOC’s which is why I chose to try these in first place but products are great also

Excellent product

This product was really easy to paint onto my new garden office. Ordering online was simple and delivery quick.

A bit early to say how effective it is.

I have found this product to be very easy to apply with a sprayer, I would say that using a brush you need to make sure that you are waring enough PPE, as being so thin, it can go everywhere as well as where you need it to. Overall easy to use, only time will tell how effective it is.

Goes on well and seems to stay put even if it gets rained on the following day.

It's a preservative so only time will really tell. I have used this product alongside another well known preservative on an interlocking wood cabin and in comparison it was nice to use, it has a slightly satin finish when applied and dried so you can see any bits you have missed it also appeared to be shower resistant after a few hours of drying time which was handy as it rained the following morning before I could overcoat it. Drips did form a small spot on the decking which was tough to remove (annoying but gives me confidence in it not washing off readily) I believe it would be worth using a dust sheet or similar to prevent this issue. I have bought 2 more tins (10ltrs) as I'm intending to use it as my go to exterior preservative from now on. ðŸ‘

Bit messy to apply but a good product

The product is water based, so I found trying to apply it with a brush was not easy. To make the application faster I used a cheap pump up garden/weed sprayer which was really efficient. However when using this method be mindful of over spray.

Easy to use and fast drying.

Get this straight on new untreated wood ASAP. Goes on easy and dries quick.

Easy to apply and covers well

I cant say how well this preserves the wood as I have only just put it on, but covers well and goes on easy. As this is as thin as water be careful when opening the tin, ensure you wipe the drips as these dry very hard and will need sanding the next day if left. I used this on bare wood and it does colour the wood to a more golden colour, which is good otherwise you wonâ€™t be able to tell you have done anything. I did 2 coats on a 6m x 3m log cabin , in 4 mornings. Also ensure you wear protective gloves and a full face mask, as I said itâ€™s like water and splashâ€™s everywhere. My face mask was covered.
