Preparation

Always ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry and free from any dust, algae, fungi or moss.

  • If the wooden panels have been previously stained, painted or varnished, we would recommend to strip them back to the bare wood using sandpaper to get the best results or a suitable wood stipper
  • If your shed is affected by algae, fungi or moss brush down with a stiff brush and clean with a garden cleaner
  • To ensure your shed is watertight and fill any gaps or holes with Cuprinol Ultra Tough Wood Filler
Application

Before applying, stir the product thoroughly and test a small area to ensure colour and adhesion. Colours can vary dependant on surface to be treated.

  • Apply 2-3 coats evenly and along the grain using a brush or roller
  • Allow 2-3 hours between coats
  • Apply only in dry conditions, above 5°C and when bad weather is not forecast
  • For strong colours more coats may be needed
  • If using more than one tin it’s advisable to mix together in a large container or finish in a corner before starting a new can to ensure consistency in colour

Note: Always follow the manufacturer instructions found on the tin.

Aftercare & Storage

To maintain your shed or fence reapply a maintenance coat every year to prolong the life of the wood. Occasional cleaning with a dampened cloth can also prolong the life of your treated wood.


Store any remaining product in dry conditions and protect from frost and sunlight.
