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

Product Information

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.

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. What amazed me the most was the oil’s protective qualities. After treating the table, I noticed that water beaded up on the surface instead of soaking in, making it easy to clean and maintain. Plus, it worked wonderfully on both interior and exterior wood surfaces, giving it versatility and broad applicability. If you have any questions or if there is anything further that they can help with please do let me know.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. And there wasn’t much love for the Ronseal Ultimate Protection which in Nigel’s experience only lasted 6 months, and others have said has a tint - a horrible yellow colour. And indeed it’s a fact that the Ronseal clear has a slight pigment in it, which gives it its UV protection 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.

If you do find there is any fading of the wood, then you could look at using a reviver product such as the Osmo Wood Reviver Gel this can restore the natural tones of the wood.

However, with a bit of cleaning and attention, it can still be used effectively in this manner. 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. 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

Having recently used Remmers Douglas Fir Oil on my garden furniture, I found it to be an excellent choice for protecting and preserving the wood. It’s an eco-friendly option with the EU Ecolabel award, and that’s important to me as I try to make more sustainable choices in my day-to-day life. Once restored and dry, I would recommend a wipe over with Methylated Spirits also and then a test area to ensure you like the finish that will be achieved it is ready for which ever oil you choose to protect with, a test area is always recommended first and if you have any further questions I am here to help. I’m considering oiling it, but I’m not sure about whether to use an anti-greying reviver beforehand. Also oiled finishes although dry and ready to use after 24 – 48 hours continue to cure and get more durable for days and weeks following application. Covering will prevent the natural curing process from occurring and this is one of the reasons we do not recommend putting rugs over and oiled floor for the first month. Thank you for getting in touch with your enquiry. It depends what was previously on the wood and how long ago it was treated. You can do an oil test, leaving a small drop of oil on the surface of the wood for around an hour and see how it reacts. If it moves or soaks in then you are likely to be able to apply an oil if it remains unmoved then the is something on the wood that is preventing penetration.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. Barretine - another solvent based oil. Also offers UV protection in a clear varnish and has marginally less performance than the Manns whilst still being a high performer Resistant to changeable weather conditions, general wear and tear, prevents wood from greying and splitting. 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. 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
