Liberon Decking Oil 5 Litre - Clear

Product Information

It’s designed to penetrate deep into the wood to replace the natural oils lost over time through weathering, and to offer deep-seated protection against splitting and drying, while the tinted oil brings out the colour in greyed wood for a fresh look. Our courier will return the parcel to their depot and try to deliver it on the next available working day. I have stripped the wood but the finish I have applied has not taken to the wood properly and has dried streaky. What should I do? Once you’re finished, leave the oil to dry out completely for around 24 hours, then repeat the process as necessary (two or three coats are generally required for the best results). An hour after the second coating has gone on, test out a patch by scrubbing it thoroughly with a scrubbing brush – make sure that the stain has been removed completely.

Give it a goo while to dry – you can’t just rush in. I left my timber to dry for nearly a week as it had been thoroughly soaked and was damp for a fair while in places the sun doesn’t reach much. Obviously if you’re directly exposed to sunlight your timber will be ready to go much faster. I do warn though, don’t get too close or you risk ripping the grain and making it furry! It is vital when using stripper or bleacher to neutralise the wood thoroughly before applying any finishing products. We recommend Wax & Polish Remover to neutralise stripper and bleacher. Allow to dry for at least 24 hours before commencing the wax, oil or varnish process. When using water-based varnishes wood bleacher must be rinsed thoroughly to remove all residues. With your gloves on, shake the solution, pour it out into a suitable container, then stir it up using a paint brush. It is most likely that the timber was not fully dry when the woodstain was applied. It is vital that timber is completely dry before applying any finishing products. Beware that there may not have been any rain for a few days but there may have been a heavy dew overnight making the timber damp.When you look at the finish you can’t help but feel this is going to be sub standard, however when you really get into this product you realise it’s the real deal. The anti sip formula really is anti slip, you’ll notice the difference day one when its wet, just how much more effective this is. The clear satin look is lovely too. You’ll definitely want that test patch though to make sure its the finish you’re looking for. Apart from that you can expect a decent bit of protection from dirt and grime too. It’s formula will give a decent wearing finish.

Oil is also really durable and is easy to maintain – you just need to keep it clean and touch it up every now and then. It’s very resistant to dirt and water so doesn’t require much upkeep at all.' Allow to penetrate for 15 to 30 minutes, then apply the second coat without waiting for the first to dry Stir the oil up, pour it out into a suitable container, and apply it to raised features such as railings using your paint brush – use long, even strokes as if you were painting a wall. Don’t panic, it’s a bit lively looking for the first week or two and then it’ll settle down to the colour you can see above 🙂Hardwoods: Unless the hardwood is very absorbent, best results are achieved by wiping on the oil in very thin coats with a cloth. It is essential that any oil that has not been absorbed into the timber is wiped off thoroughly with a clean lint-free cloth. For new hardwoods, it is recommended to leave the wood exposed for up to 12 months before applying any finish. This allows the grain in the wood to open and breathe and aids penetration and adhesion of the finish. One thing you’ll notice is the busier areas will fade first, sorry for pointing out the obvious but it was more in relation to the manufacturer comments with regards to UV filters – you have no worry at all about this product failing through sunlight, the wear and tear is the only issue with oils. Wood has naturally occurring oils which seep out – as will this oil, or any other you choose from the review for that matter. Pros: the type of wood being applied to: Hard woods (such as cedar) will give a lighter shade with the same oil than a soft wood (such as pine). The more the oil can saturate the wood grain, the darker the appearance of the finish.
