Decking Stain and Protector - Black

The Wilko Decking Stain and Protector is touch-dry in approximately two hours under normal conditions.

While primarily designed for patios and decking, it can be used on interior bathroom floors where a durable, water-resistant finish is required. Test in an inconspicuous area first.

It is generally recommended to apply two thin, even coats for best results and durability. Always allow the first coat to dry before applying the second.

Apply thinly and evenly using a good quality brush or roller. Work in the direction of the wood grain if applicable, and avoid leaving excess product on the surface.

Clean up any spills and used tools immediately with water. Dried product may be difficult to remove.

While the stain provides protection, it does not contain specific anti-algae or anti-fungal properties. Regular cleaning may still be necessary in damp environments.

It is not recommended to apply directly over existing paint or varnish. The surface should be stripped back to bare wood or a suitable primer applied after thorough preparation.

Ensure the product was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply in thin, even coats and avoid over-application. Ensure consistent application technique across the entire surface.

Check temperature and humidity levels; avoid applying in very cold, damp, or humid conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation. Over-application can also lead to slow drying.

This usually indicates poor surface preparation or application over a contaminated surface. Ensure the surface was completely dry and free of contaminants before application. For future applications, ensure thorough cleaning and light sanding of the substrate.
