FAQs

Can I use Bondex Garden Greys Oil on previously painted or varnished wood?

It is best to remove any old paint or varnish completely before applying Bondex Garden Greys Oil. The oil works best when it can penetrate the bare wood. If there's a sealant, ensure it's fully removed or the wood is sanded back to bare timber.

How many coats of Bondex Garden Greys Oil are recommended?

While it can be applied in one coat for a quick refresh, two coats are recommended for optimal protection and to achieve the full depth of the natural grey hue and shimmer effect. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

What are the available colors for Bondex Garden Greys Oil?

Bondex Garden Greys Oil is available in Dark Grey, Light Grey, and Driftwood Grey, offering variations on the naturally aged wood look.

How often should I reapply the oil?

The frequency of reapplication depends on the level of exposure the timber receives. Generally, reapplication may be needed every 1-3 years to maintain the protective qualities and aesthetic appearance.

Is this oil suitable for indoor timber?

Bondex Garden Greys Oil is specifically formulated for outdoor timber. It is not recommended for interior use.

What is the coverage rate of Bondex Garden Greys Oil?

The approximate coverage rate is 10m² per liter, though this can vary depending on the porosity and condition of the wood.

How should I clean up my tools after using the oil?

Oil-based products typically require mineral spirits or white spirit for cleaning brushes, cloths, and other application tools. Always check the product's specific recommendations or local regulations for disposal of cleaning materials.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or patchy color

Ensure the oil was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply more evenly and consider a second coat if needed. Ensure the wood was dry and clean prior to application.

Oil not penetrating the wood

The wood may be too smooth or already saturated with a different type of finish. Lightly sanding the surface can improve penetration. Ensure the surface is clean and dry.

Excessive drying time

Drying times can be extended in cold or humid conditions. Ensure application occurs within the recommended temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid applying too thickly.

Wood still looks dull after application

A second coat may be necessary to achieve the desired depth of color and shimmer effect. Ensure the first coat was fully dry before applying the second.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation is Key

Before applying Bondex Garden Greys Oil, ensure the wooden surface is clean, dry, and free from any existing finishes that might interfere with adhesion. Use a suitable wood cleaner to remove dirt, grime, and mildew. Allow the wood to dry thoroughly.

Application

  1. Stir Well: Thoroughly stir the oil before and during application to ensure an even consistency and color.
  2. Apply Evenly: Using a brush or a clean cloth, apply the oil evenly along the grain of the wood.
  3. Second Coat (Optional but Recommended): For enhanced protection and a deeper color, apply a second coat after the first coat has dried completely (allow at least 24 hours).

Compatibility

This oil is recommended for use on all exterior wooden substrates, including:

  • Decking
  • Garden furniture
  • Cladding
  • Fencing
  • Sheds and summerhouses

Care

Regular cleaning with mild soap and water is recommended. Periodically inspect the timber for signs of wear and reapply the oil as needed, typically every 1-3 years depending on exposure, to maintain protection and appearance.
