Manns Premier UV Decking Oil 5L - Natural Oak - A Multi-Purpose Decking Oil, That Protects Against Weathering & UV Damage

Product Information

It also brings out the natural shade of wood on various surfaces like fences, sheds, and hot tubs. While the RONSEAL Ultimate Natural 5L offers a “natural look,” the Liberon Clear Protection is specified as providing a “clear finish.” The choice between the two would depend on personal preferences regarding the desired appearance and the additional feature of UV protection provided by the Liberon oil. It would be one or the other as they are not compatible products. The Oils are designed to soak into the surface of the wood and protect. It gives a natural look and feel to the wood and is easy to apply and maintain over time, by simply re-coating when you feel the wood needs it. An oil soaks into the surface of the wood and will wear away over time. A stain, paint or varnish is a surface sealer and over time could peel and flake, exposing bare wood underneath. Paint, stains or varnishes can be removed with a stripper such as Paint Panther Paint and Varnish Remover. Oils unfortunately can not and if you can’t wait for them to wear away naturally the you can use a pressure washer to remove much of it, care must be taken not to damage the wood however.

As the wood is Balau there may be a naturally high oil content already and a test area first to ensure the wood will accept further oil is strongly recommended. You could wipe down the surface of the wood with Methylated spirits first as this will encourage the wood to accept more oil. Then two thin coats are all that is required. 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." Thank you for getting in touch. I can make some recommendations for a protective product, however anything you apply may darken the wood slightly, much like water does. Over time this could fade down although you may not be able to fully maintain that silvered appearance. 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.Bauer Consumer Media Ltd, Company number 01176085; Bauer Radio Limited, Company number: 1394141; Registered office: Media House, Peterborough Business Park, Lynch Wood, Peterborough PE2 6EA and H Bauer Publishing, Company number: LP003328; Registered office: The Lantern, 75 Hampstead Road, London NW1 2PL

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 Thank you for getting in touch with your question. It is a common question asked for beautiful tropical hard woods such as Ipe, Balua and Iroko. Jatoba is a less common one, however if it is anything like the others it will require a period of weathering. Tropical hardwoods tend to have a naturally high oil content when they are relatively new, these oils will prevent the uptake or adhesion of any product that you try to apply. So a weathering period to allow these oils to naturally disperse is the recommendation. 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. When you start adding a little colour, the factor increases, so a light or natural oak for example will bring you up to a 20 – 30 factor and then a dark oak, rosewood, or dark brown will bring you up to a factor 50. This is the best way to maintain the natural colour of the wood over time, but of course if you don’t want to add colour then a clear oil with UV stabalisers will require annual top up.

Types of Decking – Softwood and Hardwood

Offers moderate shine and enhances the wood’s natural colour, making it more vibrant and attractive Would that make a difference to the appearance? Or does oiling effectively hide the grey on its own? A little goes a long way and it is likely that you will only need the 125ml tin of each colour to complete your project, although this is dependent on the size of the sculpture and the condition of the wood, for example if it is particularly dry the uptake of oil will be more. Test areas are vital to ensure you like the colour that will be achieved. We plan to lay vinyl flooring as the cabin will be used by lots of kids. We’ll probably want to lift the vinyl in a few years when the kids are older. At that time, we’ll probably apply an oil. We almost certainly won’t want to varnish the floor. If the finish is an oil it should have soaked into the surface of the wood and will naturally wear away over time, it will not peel and flake unless it has been over applied.Oils can not be removed with a stripper, some lift will come from using a pressure washer, but take care not to hold the nozzle too close to the woods surface as this will damage and splinter the wood.
