Only apply in double figure temperatures and when the weather is set to be dry for at least the minimum drying time displayed on the tin. Single figure temperatures, damp or wet conditions could adversely affect the application and final finish of the product Whether you want an easy to complete maintenance that needs regularly redoing or a more comprehensive one that you can apply and forget for a few years
I would advice applying a second coat to ensure that the wood is protected against moisture as this is the biggest threat to exterior wood. For further advice please feel free to get in touch for further advice on 01303 213 838. We are set up to do a big deep clean with oxygen bleach and want to apply something that is as indestructible, low maintenance and long lasting as possible. Basically hoping to get it done and forget about it for as many years as possible! One other thing to bare in mind is if the fence is rough sawn it will absorb far more of the product that the recommended guidelines and so give a more intense colour. Its a bit of a battle to maintain the natural colour of these types of woods I am afraid, they will just naturally silver and for many people this is the desired result. It is a balancing act to get the best for the wood, protection or colour.The Oil will not restore the natural colours of the wood and if you apply a coloured oil to the silvered wood it will not look as expected. The silvered wood has also changed in composition as it has been impacted by the UV and this will in turn impact on how it takes on any product applied. I’m in process of sanding off peeling translucent stain in gray color from pressure treated wood. I decided to sand because I wanted to start fresh with like new wood. My advice would be to leave the floor treatment free as you are putting vinyl down. As it is an internal area preservative are not really recommended or required. Its not wise to apply an oil and then cover it with any floor covering the wood does not require protection. I am sorry for the delay in response, it is a super busy time here at Wood Finishes Direct. A stain or paint is a surface sealer and is likely to, over time, peel and flake, if the treatment appears to be lifting it is likely that this is the finish you have and this can be removed with a pressure washer or stripper product such as the Paint Panther Paint and Varnish Remover As you have a dog I would recommend considering an oiled finish, this will be far easier to maintain over time, oils soak into the wood surface and so is less likely to be effected by claw marks, and even if it is, you can simply patch repair and the oil will blend well. Oils are also easy to maintain as they wear, simply ensure the surface is clean and dry and then you are able to apply a top up coat when needed, usually around 1 or 2 years down the line, depending on use.
It would need a little bit of experimentation first to get the right result, it may be that you only require a very small amount of the coloured oil added to the clear, it is vital to thoroughly mix them together. So small ratio measures first and tests on your wood, until you get the desired result and then you are able to mix up a larger quantity in the same ratio to complete the project. This will help you to control the colour a bit more for getting the lighter result. As I’ve discovered, some oils offer better water resistance, while others provide enhanced UV protection. The appearance of the finish, such as matte or glossy, is also worth considering when making my decision. I’m considering oiling it, but I’m not sure about whether to use an anti-greying reviver beforehand. If you have any questions or if there is anything further that they can help with please do let me know.Customer review:"Last used 2 years ago and finish lasted well. Very good product and so simple to apply by brush. Slightly more expensive but would recommend for quality."
