For optimal protection and colour depth, two coats are generally recommended. Always ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

No, this product is an exterior fence and shed treatment and is not intended for indoor applications.

Ensure the timber is clean, dry, and free from dirt, loose paint, mould, or algae. Scrape off any flaking material and ensure the surface is sound for best adhesion.

Ensure the wood surface was clean, dry, and free of loose debris before application. Stir the product thoroughly before and during use to ensure colour pigments are evenly dispersed. Apply coats evenly along the grain.

Drying times can be affected by high humidity, low temperatures, or thick application. Ensure good ventilation, apply thinner coats, and check weather conditions. If humid or cold, allow extra drying time.

The stated coverage (5m² per litre) is an average. Very porous or rough timber may absorb more product. Ensure even application and check that the surface is clean and not excessively absorbent (e.g., extremely dry wood).

This often indicates improper surface preparation. Ensure all loose, flaking old coatings are removed, and the wood is clean and dry before applying Cuprinol Ducksback. The product needs a sound surface to adhere to.

Ensure the product is at room temperature. Stir thoroughly. Do not add water or thinners unless specifically instructed, as this can compromise performance. If it remains too thick, ensure it hasn't been stored in extreme cold.
