Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean and free from loose dirt, dust, or previous treatments that are peeling. While it can be applied to damp wood, excessively wet or saturated wood should be allowed to dry slightly for best results. Application: Apply using a suitable brush or a dedicated spray applicator. For brushing, apply evenly along the grain of the wood. If spraying, ensure an even coat and follow the spray gun manufacturer's instructions for dilution (if any) and technique. Compatibility: This treatment is suitable for all exterior rough sawn and smooth planed sheds, fences, and other garden wood. It can be applied over previous water-based fence treatments but may require a test patch for colour consistency. Care & Maintenance: The product offers up to five years of protection and colour. To maintain the appearance and protective qualities, reapply when signs of wear or fading begin to show, typically after the five-year mark or sooner depending on exposure and local weather conditions.
