Preparation
Make sure that the surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease.
- If the timber you're treating has been affected by mould, lichen, moss or algae, treat first with a fungicidal pre-treatment before you apply the Woodworks Shed and Fence Treatment.
- Extra care must be taken when preparing pre-1960s painted surfaces over wood, as they may contain harmful lead.
- Make sure that the timber is clean, dry and free from coatings. Do not apply to wet wood, in temperatures below 10 degrees celsius or when wet weather is forecast.
Application
We always recommend preforming a test patch to ensure compatibility, ensure to also follow the instructions found on the packaging.
- Stir well before use. Apply only to dry wood, in temperatures above 10 degrees celsius, when it's not forecast to rain.
- Wear gloves to avoid staining hands. Brush generously and evenly onto exposed surfaces, making sure that any splashes on foliage are wiped off immediately to avoid staining.
