FAQs

What type of wood is this decking oil suitable for?

This decking oil is ideal for pre-treated wooden decking. It enhances and protects the natural look of teak and similar hardwoods.

How long does it take for the decking oil to be rainproof?

The decking oil becomes rainproof in just 90 minutes after application.

Can I use this on grey or weathered decking?

Yes, but for best results, clean and restore the decking first using a suitable cleaner and restorer to remove greyed wood and dirt before applying the oil.

How many coats of decking oil should I apply?

Generally, two thin, even coats are recommended. Allow the first coat to dry before applying the second. Always follow the instructions on the tin and test for suitability.

How often do I need to reapply the decking oil?

Reapplication frequency depends on wear and weather exposure, but typically once a year or when water no longer beads on the surface is recommended.

Is this product suitable for softwoods like pine?

While primarily designed for hardwoods and pre-treated decking, it can be used on softwoods after thorough preparation and cleaning. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Can I apply this over an existing stain or sealant?

No, this product should only be applied to bare, clean, and dry wood. Existing finishes must be completely removed before application.

Troubleshooting

Decking appears patchy or uneven after application

This can occur if the product was not stirred adequately or applied unevenly. Ensure the product is thoroughly mixed before and during application. Apply in thin, even coats, and avoid over-application in certain areas.

Water is not beading on the surface after application

The oil may not have penetrated sufficiently, or the protective layer has worn away. Reapply a thin coat following the standard application instructions. Ensure the surface was properly prepared before the initial application.

The color is not as expected

The final color can vary depending on the type and condition of the wood. Always test on a small, hidden area first to preview the color. The color will deepen as the product cures and with subsequent applications.

Product is difficult to apply (too thick)

Ensure the product has been stored correctly. If stored in cold conditions, allow it to come to room temperature. Do not apply excessively thick coats, as this can lead to drying issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is key: Ensure your decking is clean, dry, and free from algae, moss, or old finishes. For best results, use a dedicated decking cleaner and restorer. The product is suitable for pre-treated decking. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Application: Stir the product thoroughly before use. Apply evenly with a brush or applicator pad, following the grain of the wood. Apply a second coat if necessary, after the first coat has dried but while the wood is still receptive. Avoid applying in direct sunlight or when rain is expected shortly after application, despite its quick drying time.

Care: Clean spills immediately. Periodically inspect the deck for signs of wear and reapply as needed, typically annually or when water no longer beads on the surface. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ensure the lid is securely fastened.
