FAQs
What type of wood is Fenceguard best for?
Fenceguard is specifically formulated for rough-sawn timbers, offering excellent protection and adhesion to these surfaces.
How many coats should I apply?
Typically, one or two coats are recommended depending on the desired finish and the absorbency of the timber. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for specific guidance.
Can I apply Fenceguard over existing paint or varnish?
It is not recommended to apply Fenceguard over existing paint or varnish. Ensure the surface is stripped back to bare wood and properly prepared first.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity. Generally, it requires several hours between coats. Refer to the product packaging for precise drying time information.
Is the black colour fade-resistant?
Yes, the product uses UV-stable oxide-based colours, which are designed to resist fading from exposure to sunlight.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Clean application brushes with water and detergent immediately after use.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish after application.
Ensure the product was stirred thoroughly before and during use. Apply thin, even coats and avoid over-application in one spot. Allow proper drying time between coats.
Product not adhering well to timber.
Verify that the timber surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. This product is best suited for rough-sawn wood; if applied to smooth or previously treated wood, adhesion may be poor. Consider a test patch.
Colour appears different from expected.
The final colour can be influenced by the type and condition of the timber. Stir the product well to ensure uniform pigment distribution. A second coat may deepen the colour.
