Full details
The Fiddes Wood Reviver Gel (2.5L) is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to restore grey, weathered, or UV-damaged exterior wood surfaces like furniture, decking, and fences. Its key benefit is the powerful, fast-acting gel formula that brings wood back to its natural color with easy application on both horizontal and vertical areas.

FAQs
Can I use this on painted or varnished wood?
No, the Fiddes Wood Reviver Gel is designed for bare wood. All previous finishes must be completely removed before application.
How long should I leave the gel on the wood?
Refer to the specific instructions on the product label for the recommended dwell time, as this can vary. Always test on a small area first.
What protective gear do I need?
You should wear protective goggles, gloves, and clothing to avoid skin and eye contact.
How should I prepare the wood before applying the gel?
Ensure the wood is clean, dry, and free from any previous finishes, dirt, or moss. Do not use a pressure washer.
Is this product safe for the environment?
Yes, it is a water-based, odourless, and biodegradable gel.
What should I do about surrounding plants and surfaces?
Cover all decorative stone, metallic components, and plants thoroughly to protect them from splashes during application and rinsing.
How often do I need to reapply?
The need for reapplication depends on the wood's exposure to the elements and the desired level of restoration. Check the wood periodically and reapply as needed.
Troubleshooting
Wood not fully restoring color
Ensure the gel was applied evenly and allowed sufficient dwell time. For heavily weathered wood, a second application may be necessary. Ensure surface preparation was thorough.
Gel running excessively on vertical surfaces
Ensure the product is applied at an appropriate temperature (warm conditions recommended). If the wood is very porous, it may absorb the gel more quickly. Apply a second coat if needed after the first rinse and dry.
Residue left on wood after rinsing
Rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water. Ensure all product has been removed. If stubborn residue persists, gently scrub again with water and rinse. Ensure all protective coverings were removed before final rinse.
Wood appears streaky after treatment
Ensure the gel was applied with consistent pressure and coverage using the brush. Uneven application can lead to streaking. A second, even coat might resolve this.
