Extended Product Information

FAQs

How long does the anti-slip effect last?

The anti-slip effect is designed to be durable, but its longevity depends on foot traffic and weather exposure. Reapplication is typically recommended every 1-2 years to maintain optimal protection and grip.

Can I apply this over a different brand of decking stain?

Yes, as long as the existing stain is sound, not flaking, and has been cleaned. It's always advisable to test on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the drying time?

Drying time varies depending on temperature and humidity. Typically, it is touch-dry in 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat after 4-6 hours. Allow at least 24 hours before heavy use.

How many coats are recommended?

Two coats are generally recommended for optimal colour, protection, and anti-slip performance. A third coat may be beneficial for heavily weathered or high-traffic areas.

Does the 'City Stone' colour look grey?

Yes, 'City Stone' is a shade of grey. The final appearance can vary slightly depending on the type of wood and the number of coats applied.

Can I use this on garden furniture?

While designed for decking, it can be used on other exterior wooden structures. However, ensure the surface is suitable and follow application guidelines. Test on a small area first.

How do I clean up after use?

Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water and a mild detergent.

Troubleshooting

Uneven colour finish

Ensure the product is thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply thin, even coats and avoid over-brushing. If the issue persists, a third light coat may be necessary once the previous coat is dry.

Product not adhering well

Verify that the decking surface was properly cleaned, dry, and free from contaminants before application. Ensure previous finishes were not flaking or unstable.

Surface remains slippery

Ensure sufficient coats have been applied. The anti-slip properties develop with the dried film. Check if the product has been applied too thinly or if the surface is excessively smooth.

Algae growth reappears quickly

Ensure the wood was thoroughly cleaned of existing algae before application. Reapply the stain as per recommendations, especially if the area is prone to dampness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improves decking safety by reducing slip hazards.
  • Protects wood from weather damage and extends its life.
  • Discourages the growth of unsightly and slippery algae and mould.
  • Offers a durable, attractive finish in the 'City Stone' grey shade.
  • Relatively easy to apply for DIY users.

Cons

  • Achieving a perfectly uniform color can be challenging on large areas.
  • Requires thorough preparation of the decking surface for optimal adhesion.
  • Drying times can be affected by weather conditions.
  • May require reapplication every 1-2 years depending on wear and weather exposure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is Key: Before application, ensure your decking is clean, dry, and free from any loose paint, dirt, or algae. Sweep the surface thoroughly and consider using a dedicated decking cleaner if necessary. Allow the wood to dry completely.

Compatibility: Suitable for all wood types commonly used for decking. It can be applied over existing stains and finishes, provided they are sound and not flaking. If applying over a dark stain, a lighter shade like City Stone may require more coats or may not fully cover the previous colour.

Application:

  1. Stir the product thoroughly before and during use.
  2. Apply evenly using a good quality brush or a decking applicator.
  3. Apply a second coat if a deeper colour or enhanced protection is desired, following the recommended drying times between coats.
  4. Avoid applying in direct, strong sunlight, during very cold temperatures, or when rain is forecast.

Care: Clean the decking periodically with water and a soft brush. Stubborn dirt can be removed with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the container tightly closed.
