• UV filters prevent discolouring

• Revives greying and weathered decking

• Enhances the natural beauty of the wood

Preparation

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

• To clean decking give it a good brush with a stiff broom to remove any dirt, debris, or loose wood

• Check the surface of the decking for loose screws or boards and ensure these are tightened

• If the decking has been previously stained, painted, or varnished, we would recommend stripping it back to the bare wood. For previously stained decking you can use Ronseal Garden Decking Stripper

• If your decking has been affected by algae, fungi, or mould it can be cleaned with Liberon Tough Deck Clean and Revive

Note: Most new decks come with a bit of waterproofing protection. This could stop the stain from sticking. To avoid this, give your new deck a good scrub with Liberon Tough Deck Clean and Revive. Alternatively, leave it to weather for six months.

Application

Before applying the product test a small area on the surface to be oiled to ensure you are happy with the finished results. Oil finishes bring out the natural colours of timber. A wet surface will be an indication of the final colour.

• Stir well before use

Softwoods

• Apply with a brush or roller

• Apply the oil generously and allow to penetrate for 15 to 30 minutes

• Apply a second coat

• Continue to apply until the timber no longer absorbs the oil, older timbers may require more quotes depending on the condition

• Wipe off any excess with a clean, lint-free cloth

• Allow to dry for 24 - 48 hours before use

Hardwoods

• For new hardwoods leave exposed for 12 months before applying a finish

• Apply in very thin coats with a clean cloth

• Remove any unabsorbed oil off the timber with a lint-free cloth

• Apply further coats until wood no longer absorbs the oil

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

Aftercare & Storage

Cleaning

Keep your decking clear of debris to prolong the finish and frequently clean any build up grime and mould. For general maintenance use Liberon Tough Deck Clean and Revive.

Maintenance

We recommend applying 1 or 2 coats of decking oil once a year as a routine maintenance for areas of high traffic reapply as required.
