FAQs
How often should I reapply the wood preservative oil?
The frequency of reapplication depends on the exposure of the wood to the elements. Typically, it is recommended to reapply annually or when the wood begins to look dry or faded.
Can this product be used on interior wood?
No, this product is specifically formulated for outdoor timber and should not be used on interior wood surfaces.
What is the coverage rate of the 1-litre tin?
Coverage can vary depending on the type and porosity of the wood. As a general guide, 1 litre typically covers approximately 5-10 square meters per coat.
How long does it take for the oil to dry?
The oil should penetrate the wood within 15-30 minutes. It is usually dry to the touch within a few hours, but full curing may take 24 hours.
Can I apply this over existing stains or treatments?
It is best applied to bare, untreated wood. If applying over existing treatments, ensure they are fully weathered or removed, and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Does this product change the color of the wood?
The oil treatment can slightly deepen and enrich the natural color of the wood, giving it a richer, more vibrant appearance. It does not typically add pigment but enhances the wood's natural tones.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or patchy appearance
Ensure the wood was clean and dry before application. Wipe away any excess oil that has not penetrated after the recommended time. Apply a second thin coat if necessary, ensuring to wipe off excess.
Oil not penetrating the wood
The wood may be too saturated with moisture or have a very dense grain. Ensure wood is completely dry. Lightly sanding the surface can help improve absorption on dense woods.
Wood still looks weathered after application
Reapplication may be needed, especially if the wood was heavily weathered prior to treatment or exposed to harsh conditions. Ensure all excess product was wiped off after application to prevent a sticky residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
