FAQs
How many coats of Palace Fence Guard should I apply?
For rough-sawn timbers, one generous coat is typically sufficient. Ensure the timber is dry and the product is well-stirred for optimal results.
Is this product safe for my pets?
Yes, the Palace Fence Guard is formulated to be harmless to pets and plants once it has dried.
Can I apply this over existing paint or stain?
It is not recommended to apply directly over existing paint or stain. Ensure the surface is clear of old finishes and contaminants before application.
What is the drying time for this product?
Drying times can vary depending on environmental conditions. Always refer to the product packaging for specific drying time recommendations. Ensure it is fully dry before exposure to rain or traffic.
How long does the protection typically last?
The treatment offers long-lasting protection, but the exact duration can depend on exposure to harsh weather conditions. Regular inspection and reapplication as needed will maintain optimal protection.
Can I use this on smooth planed timber?
This product is specifically designed for rough-sawn timbers. For smooth planed timber, a different type of finish might be more suitable to achieve the desired aesthetic and protection.
What is the coverage rate per litre?
Coverage rates vary based on the porosity and condition of the timber. Please check the product packaging for the most accurate coverage information.
Troubleshooting
Uneven colour after application
Ensure the product was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Wood porosity can vary; a second thin coat might be necessary for a more uniform finish on certain timbers, applied only after the first coat is dry.
Water is not beading on the surface after drying
This may indicate insufficient application or that the timber has become saturated. Apply another coat if the timber is dry, ensuring an even coverage. For heavily weathered timber, multiple coats might be needed over time.
Product seems too thick to apply
Stir the product vigorously. If still too thick, it may be due to cold temperatures. Try moving the product to a warmer location for a short period. Do not add thinners unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer, as this may affect performance.
