It is recommended to check your fence or shed each year to see if it needs a new coat and to keep it looking its best. Reapplication frequency depends on weather exposure and wear.

Troubleshooting
Uneven color or streaking
Ensure the product was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply in consistent, overlapping strokes. Check if the wood was uniformly dry and clean before application.
Product not adhering well
The wood surface may not have been clean or dry enough. Ensure all dirt, dust, and previous coatings are removed. Rough sawn wood provides better adhesion than smooth, planed timber.
Color looks different than expected
Always test on a small, hidden area first. The final color can be influenced by the original color and type of wood. Ensure the product was stirred sufficiently to achieve the true color.
Product is too thick to apply
Ensure the product is stirred well. If applying in cold conditions, allow the product to reach a suitable ambient temperature. Do not thin the product unless specifically instructed.
